I might be in trouble

Now a motorcycle... I wonder if anyone's got one of those lying around that they're not using

Actually, you just *think* making gear can get expensive. Try getting a "free" motorcycle on the road. Pop by one day, I'll give you one & you can see for yourself :P

Well if you happen to get fired for not working, then you will have plenty of time to work on your gear.

Point well taken (still - don't say it if you don't mean it )

Nice machine!

I've found the savings of making your own gear in one hobby is quickly offset by the realization that you can now afford to have multiple hobbies!

Now lets see some pics!

Nothing spectacular to show yet, but I'll snap what I've got at MAHHA this weekend. I'll try and make a Jerry Chair this week (then I guess I'll have to buy some trek poles to support it. oh well).

Only took a couple of months and your a DIYer! Don't worry too much about crooked stitches that's the way a number of us sew. Call it character and enjoy!

Some people start down the slippery slope of DIY.

You jumped off the cliff instead!

To quote G.K. Chesterton, "anything worth doing is worth doing badly." so just keep at it and have fun.

Yeah, for now, as long as it doesn't come apart, I'm happy. Still figuring out the whole tension thing.

Try to aim for the hammock

Yeah, it's scary, but a whole lot of fun--grading papers is just scary (I've a stack or two sitting neglected, and quarter grades go out Friday )

Well if you happen to get fired for not working, then you will have plenty of time to work on your gear.

If only had a place in my apartment where I could combine a hammock and the need to grade papers...

Now lets be honest here, we all know that if you could hang your hammock in your apartment you wouldn't get any grading done. None of my family or friends have ever gone more than 30 mins in a hammock without being overcome with the need for a nap.
