I love the diy forum, respect all the dedicated diy'ers, and am grateful for all the contributers who have made it possible for me to hang.
This said, I am the worst diy'er in the world: I'm in it for the end product, and rush just about every job so I can get out there and play--craftsmanship, sense of accomplishment for a job well done, stitches that are even moderately straight... that all takes a back seat to me being done and playing. The results look like something you'd drag out of Sanford and Son's, but it works, and I am proud (in a perverse sort of way) of the hideous projects that keep me up in the air.
For all of you who have mastered meticulousness, are proud possessors of patience, and have cultivated careful craftsmanship--I envy you, and one day hope to become you. I love watching what you do, and even though my efforts are a mockery of the great work I see here, I'm proud to be a part of the diy hammock community (even if it's on the less fashionable side of town where good diy'ers don't feel comfortable going after dark ).
Again, thanks for the inspiration and knowledge.
