Whoopie!

My material from DIY Gear arrived. I followed the vids here and made a set of Whoopies. As is usually the case the first one was harder to do than the second. They both seem to be good. Haven't hung in them yet. I also made two soft shackles.
I bent a wire used for floral arrangements in half and used that as a fid. I bought a package of the wire from Michaels for a $1.89 it contains 20 wires 18"s long. It worked well. Now to do some mods on my new Woot.

Awesome! Keep us updated on how that Woot hammock works out with the mods!
