That's great news, Hooch. Congrats on your first hammock. Many more will follow.

Congrats. Don't worry about the looks, its the performance that counts, and crooked seams hold just as good as straight . Only perfectionists look at the seams that close, and nobody likes perfectionists.
I've found that holding your mouth and tongue right also helps with the bird's nests in the sewing machine.

There are point rankings you get for the stuff you build, its just that the first one has to be a hammock. No points for duplicates of items you've built before, unless the seams are straighter. There's a complicated scale that the Grand Vizar manages. I heard it threw the SSSS-HF leadership into a tizzy when Dutch did his combined pack and bridge hammock because they didn't know how to score it. In the end he got the points for a DIY pack, plus the points for a DIY hammock, plus "innovation" points.
I never quite figured out what the points are good for myself...

Grizz recently was secretly promoted to HF Poobah status on the (heretofore SECRET, <ahem!>) poobah point system -- not yet a GRAND Poobah, but a Poobah nonetheless. He blinded them with SCIENCE.
