Slept in a hammock on the stand last night and it held my 325lbs just fine without any noticeable deflection whatsoever.

Last time I checked (a month ago) there were only 12 on the whole eastern US and they were slated for return to manufacturer. (Probably being sent to Canada.)

I just found a local fence company that sells 21' 1 3/8 top rail for $17/each which effectively cuts the price in half. I'm not sure whether the swaged part counts as part of the overall length or...

Yeah, I can still do this but I'm going to take it down anyways. Looks like no one needs it at this time and if someone does maybe they'll find me by searching.

I just spoke with the people at tarps.com and they are incredibly nice people and will absolutely work with you on your order.

Can't wait to get my stand built!

I haven't camped at Pokomoke but I recall them having an abundance of trees. Janes Island has trees. Greenwell has trees and I seem to recall Merkle does also.

I use the xl2600i for a lot of what I do. The walking foot for it is relatively cheap.

Glad you're having some good times with the quilts man! I love hearing about what people are doing with them.

How'd you make the footbox in the quilt? Buttons or did you shock cord it?

I was at Home Depot yesterday and spotted some green 1" webbing straps on sale in a pack of 2 for $5. They had a working load limit of 500lbs.

We should work on it together. I've tested parts of it so I know the BTS works and I know we can fly a drone over running it and provide a cell tower that any device can connect to. I know we can use...

Glad you're okay. Hope the knee heals quickly and/or heals without lasting effects.

I have a design for a small drone that would be used to find missing hikers and provide a temporary cell tower to get the coordinates out.

Hopefully I'll find the money to buy the parts someday.

I did this to begin with but moved to some stronger webbing when I was purchasing a hammock.

It does work but 300 lbs load capacity is really not that high.

While I wish this were totally true, I have noticed that the old electric singers, especially the potted motor ones, have wiring with a rubber/latex jacketing and insulation. The insulation is...

Can't help asking.. is that one very Reliable? :-P

My wife thinks I'm nuts and can't imagine why I would want a 60 year old thread injector. I tried to explain it to her but honestly I think she's just glad the cabinet is pretty.

Just managed to pick up a pristine Singer 201 with original cabinet today. It's a 1954 production run with the cabinet and leg lever. It's in incredible condition and worked great. The wiring needs...

I passed on all 3 of these. One singer was running but having been left in a damp garage it had significant rust. The second one had rust and was missing the motor. The premier deluxe just doesn't...

Found someone locally that looks like they have a couple of Singer 15's and a Premier Deluxe in what I think is the 105 model (could be 305).

I don't actually know how much stuffing is normally in them. The throws usually weigh 15.5 oz and the stuff sacks are .15 to .2 oz. I believe that .5 oz is about 10% more down at a minimum which is a...

I'm with both Silvrsurfr and Shug on this one. It's not cool getting into a hammock that's already wet because you didn't set up the tarp first. As for not storing them together, it never fails that...

Some are overstuffed. If you ever find them at a costco again, bring a postal scale and you'll find that some are .5oz over already.

Wish I'd have realized that sooner. :-P

Thanks all! I do have a walking foot so I don't have too much of an issue with getting the stuff to actually go through evenly. I've just found the rolled seams quite frustrating. :)

I'm going to...

I'd recommend to use a hot knife or soldering iron to melt the threads first so there's no risk of further fraying. Then if you put a patch in place it should hold quite well.

I've bought 116 of these now. Thinking about making a couple under quilts. Any suggestion on what are the best threads for diy uq and tq with them?

A thick layer of vaseline will keeps ants off your lines. It's used by herpetologists to keep ants out of reptile cages and it always seems to work.

Got them!
