Bitten by the bug

So I have been bitten by the DIY bug. This is the 1st of many projects.
Borrowed the SM from the parents, ordered some equipment from DIYgear.
Here it is I call it the black mamba.
11.5 knot to knot. Adjustable whoopee style RL. Black 70D Crinkle Taffeta.
RL is currently set at about 9.5.
Big ugly and comfortable.

Looks great...and starting out with the woopie slings is a great way to do it.

Hey comfortable is what counts, its not a beauty contest as I always say.

Good job PabuBoy! That looks like a fine hammock. I have some of that black crinkle taffeta in my materials closet too but haven't found the time to get to it yet.

This is only the beginning. I mentioned my materials closet - that's separate from my gear closet! The kids are grown & have moved out, so I'm taking over the house
