Nice (like REAL nice) tarp, neat trick - there's always something to learn from others projects.

Looks great!! Thanks for the report, I am looking to make a sil argon tarp so this gives me an idea of how it is to work with

That is one awesome tarp. DIY skills look great and that argon is great stuff, silky soft. I got some to make a puffer-style jacket that I'm still working on.
CH;-\
Awesome work and great picts! Very inspiring!

I can still do anything I could when I was 21. It just takes longer and hurts more now.
Thats a good idea bout the extra material to start and stop with. I had that trouble with the 1.1 ripstop i just finished. Wish i had thought of that.
Great looking tarp.
Wow, well done sir! I have some brown argon sil I ordered from Dutch that will be here tomorrow. My son and I are making him a hammock, a tarp, a backpack, and several custom sacks. We are starting with a sack or two and then on to the tarp. Your tarp, is EXACTLY what I was planning on making (with the exact material and elements. So now I am really siked (I just hope I am not too disappointed when my thread injection skills are not to par.
Oh well, that is why I am making my sons gear first (shhhhh, don't tell him I'm doing his first to learn from my mistakes before I make my gear ;-) Got that Janome HD3000 purring right along.
If possible would you be able to explain what stiches, hems, ties, etc you did? Looks like you did a blind hem around the perimeter instead of gross gain (I assume that was for weight reasons?)

Great job. I know it's hard moving those large pieces around. Nicely done.
