    I like what you are doing but I think a ridgeline to limit the distance between the ends of the hammock fabric will flatten your lay some and that may change your optimal pleating and you will have to take a whole new set of photos.

    And yes, it seems like you are adding a mini "foot box" to either end and there is nothing wrong with trying that. Looking forward to updates...

    What we need is someone with radiology connections to do a lay in front of an X-ray emitter; then we'll know for sure if we're getting a flat lay

    He either abandoned it or figured it out..Maybe this was before foot and head boxes were talked about... might have lead to them being designed with the data gathered... been 5 years since he posted about it..

    Yeah, he probably won't check this. Nift, I was thinking the same, but just wanted to check with him as now 'footboxes' are common. I regularly 'search' my name jut to find posts that I forgot I wrote on. Lets hope he does aswell. Thanks guys.
