    G4 pattern

    Anyone have any luck with the g4 pattern from quest: http://questoutfitters.com/patterns-packs-cart.htm#Pack Patterns ?

    Also, I've come to terms with the fact that my diy skills are often "acceptable" but not great, plus, finding time with two toddlers can be difficult, so is there anyone that would be willing to put this together for me?

    I have done 2. It's best to read a few steps ahead so you can figure out where they are going. My injection skills are less than steller and I was able to do it. I would bet you will be just fine. Take your time. Do it in small steps and BAM it's done.

    Although i havent made of these yet, i can say that making a pack is not something one should expect to complete in a weekend unless you are a seasoned vet. Take your time and think out all the steps ahead of time and you will do fine.

    Take your time, join the Yahoo Group G4 Pack, and you'll do great. I have 4 thumbs and got it done.

    I too have made this pack, it is time consuming and like me you may have to rip out a few seems but it's a great pack, very roomy

    I dont think the op has 4 thumbs, just the normal 2. I hear pins work in leu of extra thumbs.

    Seriously though, I know where you are coming from, worrying about starting a big project. I am sure someone would help you finish, probably more so than just do it for you in the first place. I say go for it!
