It was a long time in coming, and may feel like a long time to view it, but I've finally managed to pull together a description of the details behind the Grizz Bridge Ariel, introduced last June in "A Sneak Preview of the Grizz Bridge Ariel". The chief things of interest, I think, are the techniques for splicing suspension cord so that the little gaps for spreader bar tips are (a) the right distance apart on the same side, and (b) directly across from each other at the corners. Then I go through rather a lot to get to the answer "43" (sure would have been nice to get to "42"!) which describes how to cut the hammock body past the recessed spreader bar so that the hammock stays flat just past the spreader bar.
Not much in the way of viewing a finished hammock...I'm getting there, I know this one has the flatness I designed it for, but it needs a bunch more stuff. So there's be another video in the offing---I hope in the next couple of months---I'll call "Tricking out the Ariel".
In the mean time, if you like engineering stuff, stick with this one to the very end and win a prize!
