Make to order projects

**mountaingoat** · 03-18-2011, 10:32

Hi all. I just wanted to put out there that I am available and willing to both make things to order and repair gear as well. Stuffsacks, reptile skins.., hats, beanies, mittens, pack repairs, tarp mods. No down, that is over my head. I am also pretty good at fixing knitted items that have holes and are coming unravelled.
This is not a business for me, I have a fulltime job; it's just a way to bring in a little extra money. Thanks

ps. I have made a few items for members here already.

pps. Mods, if this is out of line, move or remove accordingly

I have an orange MSR tent with some rot/tear on the fly. Is this something you can fix and color match?

I would have to see the damage, but a patch seems like the answer if the area is large. Matching color depends on how and where I can get the material. If I found it new, it might be brighter than a fly that has some sun bleaching. So I guess it depends on how much you want it to look good. I can seam seal the patch, so that it would be functional

I also make removabe mesh pockets for Golite packs or other packs that don't have external pockets.

I'd be interested in a set of those. Do you have a sample pic by any chance?

BTW, I think this is a great offering! Very cool.

Me too, if it's the same fabric (Dyneema) as the Golite packs, themselves?

We'll see if this works. The pocket is wrapped around a big pillow, since my packs already have pockets.
They are made with Quest Outfitters No See Um

Hope the moderator won't remove this thread.

I need to have my Exped Walcreeper (Primaloft) sleeping bag shortened.

I could do that part, the problem is that there will be about 8-9" of dual opening zipper that should be shortened accordingly.

The bag has a drawstring at the bottom.

mt goat....pm me at sandykayak at yahoo dot com and i'll attach "photo"
