Hey DIY gurus. I did a search but didn't find any hits for threads on this that seemed to follow what I am doing.
I've been playing with creating a Warbonnet style foot box and have had some success. I've gone down two different avenues and I think I've hit on the solution. It looks like the trick is to add some extra material to the bottom of the hammock but to do so in a way that still allows symmetrical load to the bottom of the hammock or else you get a total failure of the bottom.
I got a foot box yesterday, but it added way too much sag - totally screwed up the comfort of the hammock by making the feet go lower than the rest of the body. I've been ill, so I haven't tried to refine the process for the last 24 hours - but the last experiment was ~5" of bottom in sort of a "box" shape. So it looks like the solution is probably <5" but I'm not sure about the shape.
What I am hoping is someone already figured out the shape and dimensions and can throw me a bone. I've got some 40D 1.1 coming in the mail and hope to have it solved before it arrives so I can finish my latest SUL hammock quickly.
Thanks.
