Look (video): my first DIY project, a yellow hammock with a stretchable footbox and knotty mod

The instructions for this hammock is one of the best I've seen. Great job!

Great Project. Lots of details and you did a great job of tackling them all. I'd love to see a video of how that footbox goes together. Maybe next time!

Those written instructions are awesome.

It took me 3 tries to get the video to upload to youtube, and it finally worked (I supposedly live near the broadband, but sometimes I wonder).

I've got detailed instructions for you BigE94, including how I did the pattern and attached the footbox. That is, if you can stand my brambling at my sewing machine on this video, hahaha

I like the way you included a D-ring connection in the edge hem for use as a lateral accessory attachment, which is very forward-thinking; I like it when hammocks have little conveniences that also increase their versatility -- and in this case there was virtually no weight penalty.

That's one sweet hammock! I love the color, too!

Thanks. I was afraid that I was over-engineering, but that is how I tend to roll. Complexity is good.
