    Hello from New York!!!

    What's up gang!!!! My name is Tom, I'm from the Hudson Valley. I've been camping since I was a teen, and now have the Hammock bug. Been reading ALOT and gained some insight (as far as a noob can) and can't wait to start hanging! Followed some good advice and picked up an old (1987) Kenmore 385. Going to be ordering some supplies shortly and start the journey. Anyone from the area, give a holler and let me know if there are any outings for the Mid-Hudson Valley!

    Welcome from the Finger Lakes region. Careful with that diy stuff, dangerously addictive! O:-)

    Hey, Tom! Welcome to the forum! I have an old 1949 Kenmore machine as a backup to my main machine. They work great!
    Good luck on the DIY stuff.

    Hello LuvnyBonnet. Thanks for the welcome. My son goes to Buffalo State, and I get up that way maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Next time up, I'll give you a holler, maybe we can "hang"....See what I did there....hammock humor! Seriously though, it would be nice to meet up. BTW, love your quote!

    Thanks Thom. Just got it back from the shop. So far, so good. I managed my first gathered end. 10 1/2' long. Still got all my fingers (no holes yet).
