    Lots of lucky hangers! Just curious about how many man hours go into making a hammock on average? Really admire all the forums cottage vendors skills.

    Thanks raggydoo. I'm afraid there's no simple answer to your question. It varies quite a bit depending on the model ordered, materials, amount of add-ons & custom work involved. They are very labor intensive, but we've been able to usually build 15 or 16 hammocks a week lately.

    It's difficult to pinpoint an exact number of man hours per hammock because every smurf has different duties and works throughout the week on different parts of the same hammock.

    Deanna (MamaSmurf) - does ridgeline organizers, storage pockets, nets, overcovers + the never ending job of keeping the other smurfs in line and on task.

    Randy (PapaSmurf) - I do hammock bodies, nets, overcovers, assembly, web work & other weird things people dream up.

    Emily (Smurfette) - does stuff sacks, peak bags, splicing work, assembly, etc.

    Andrew (Sasquatch) - lives out of state and doesn't work day to day with us, but he's awfully handy for advise and computer related questions.

    Matthew (BearPlow) - does fabric cutting, splicing work, photography, assembly and is our chief Pandora technician (He keeps the clicker).

    Very interesting, thanks. Also didn't realize "Dream" Hammock was an acronym, nice.
