    first tablecloth DIY + cool test stand

    this is my first stab at a DIY hammock
    standard 60x128 tablecloth (tableclothsfactory 60x126) all DIY whoopies / loops / nacrabiners to hang it. adjustable ridgeline set to 103"

    and it's hanging on quite possibly the most expensive hammock stand ever.. $550k machine tool and a POS fork lift.. I was just testing before giving it to a buddy.

    again thanks to all the contributors here,+ Shug for the cool vids that started my interest..

    ?? Are you sure the protective cage on the forklift is strong enough for a load in that direction ??

    Oh, wait, the two sides of the cage are connected to each. So, the load will be transferred to the other side of the cage, which is engineered not to crush inward. If the connecting bolts are strong enough. Alls good.

    Smilies implied.
