    I think I'm hooked

    A week ago I was going to buy a 20 Deg incubator from Hammock Gear and my wife talked me into making one. "You can do it honey." she said. So I ordered materials from DIY Gear Supply and Wilderness Logics instead, called my mom and got a thread injector from her and by Friday had all my materials on hand. I had no idea how to even put thread in a thread injector. Did all my research right here on Hammock Forums during the week and put a plan together. Thanks Hammock Forums.

    I started Friday night after work and by Saturday afternoon had made an underquilt. This took me about 8 hours to complete.

    size 46 X 78
    13.5 oz 800 fill down
    2.5 inches of loft
    24.3 oz

    I think I'm hooked on gear making

    You are truly an inspiration to those of us who suffer from injectorphobia. Time to order some supplies!

    Inspiring!

    Well done, it looks professionally done. Thanks for the inspiration! I need a good winter underquilt, and really enjoy making stuff.
