There was an Old Man with a owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.WOO

One of my passions is DIY. Whether its furnishings, or for the animals, or yard, or my gear, I love DIY, well, mainly because I can't afford not to.
One of my favorite threads is based on DIY. Thanks to member xollox for this great list, https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=51555

+1 on that.
Another that is high on my list is one where, in his inimitable form, TeeDee mentioned using a Marlin Spike hitch as part of a hammock suspension, a toss-off reference buried in the middle of something else he was talking about. As his writing style is very dense, that posting went by without comment or evident notice on the MS hitch idea. But I'd learned to study his writings like an Egyptologist studies hieroglyphics, grokked what he was saying, and started to promote it. The MS hitch is probably is the biggest impact idea he brought (among many) to HF.

Any pictoral by Opie on splicing. That guy has a gift for explaining how to splice.
I really enjoyed the early posts on UQs, when the discussions of baffles and differential cuts, darts and pleats were blossoming. There is some real interesting history back in those threads. If you ever wanted to know where your UQ designs germinated from, take a look.
There are some great posts by some great minds - TiredFeet, Grizz, Schneiderlein, Youngblood, WarBonnetGuy, TeeDee and many other 'oldtimers' really made some amazing contributions-

This may have been mentioned, or at least alluded to, but this thread is worth pointing out again. It introduced me to karo step quilt construction. I like the clear instructions and great illustrations, but also TeeDee's explanations of why he made a number of design decisions.
I found the threads on vapor barrier /moisture transfer, to being interesting reading..
