Has anyone made a gathered end hammock with 1.9 oz ripstop? Just curious...

A couple. And my PapaSmurf DangerBird us double 1.9.

Joannes and Hancock Fabric stock ripstop is 1.9 so I think a lot of people (including me) have DIY hammocks from1.9 oz.
Yep,one of my favorite hammocks is a single layer of 1.9oz. I have been sleeping in it for about three weeks now indoors and loving it.

I've used it for sl and dl. Double layer for my large bro-in-law and his large family. I promised him any two of them would be good in it and I was right.
I'd say it held over #500. And they were swinging...
I found the Hancock's 1.9 was a lot nicer after being run through the washer, no soap.

.... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.

Oh yeah. First 4 where 1.9oz.

Just whipped one up (no pun intended) last weekend.
I used the stuff from DIY Gear Supply and it is quite nice.
Did you whip it good?

Sure have and will be using it for a long time to come.
