Very impressive i wonder if the singer heavy duty could handle making something like that. @FUSE If you don’t mind me asking what does this weigh? I like what you did now i want to make one to incorporate a few ideas i have.
I use the Singer heavy duty. It will definitely work for this. I'm going to make one. I'll try to video the process.
haha Appreciate it brother!Alex,
the pics you sent me through facebook messenger didn't do this justice! Or maybe it's because I was viewing it on my phone! I am impressed man!
@MCDM i used a combination of MARA50 and T70. A quality sharp needle is a must. I used organ needles size 18. I'm not sure if the singer could handle it. The machine will have the hp to get through the material, the question is whether or not it can apply enough tension to pull the stitch back through the material.
This is good to know. I went with 500d Cordura. I'll see if it will work.@MCDM i used a combination of MARA50 and T70. A quality sharp needle is a must. I used organ needles size 18.

Cool - hunting presents for our wivesThats IT!! After the holidays, I am buying a sewing machine. We bought my 10 year old one for Christmas but I could not convince my wife that she NEEDED a heavy duty machine lol.

I think 1000d is overkill. I have a lot of military issued gear that is 500d and it's tough as nails. 1000d is bombproof buy loud and not very comfortable.Did you go with 500D vs 1000 because of the stitches being pulled back through may present a problem?
Awesome. Are you making big changes?@g2outdoors the 1000D definitely is overkill. The one I'm drawing up now will be made with 500D.
Nothing planned yet. Thought about adding material between the webbing to provide more of a sling effect...but its so damn comfortable now I don't see a need to do that.Awesome. Are you making big changes?

The webbing is doing most of the load bearing, so 500d is plenty strong for me.
Most of the companies making big game hunting packs for elk, sheep, etc. use 500d.
