So here goes, a few months ago I stumbled across a random illustration of a saddle hunter. I had never heard of this style of hunting and I was interested. So from there i ended up here, my first post was an introduction and explanation of my hardcore diy attitude. Not long after that I got to work.
So I want to preface the pictures with, I'm new to sewing, this is a first attempt, it seems to be ok so far, havent spent a lot of time in it. Ive got until october to fine tune and if need be, make another one with some tweaks. So I basically figured everything out with some youtube help about sewing and instruction from the wife. I also feel it's important to say that I didnt come up with the design on my own, and I'm sure some of you will recognize it, not sure how everyone feels about that, but it is what it is.
In the pictures that im in it, im using ropes I had laying around in the garage and 7/64" amsteel, I plan on replacing all of this before I leave the ground with the proper equipment. 1/4" amsteel and legit rope.
So that being said, I would love if you guys could give me some feedback. Aesthetics aside, I'm mainly concerned about safety issues. I used heavy duty upholstery thread for any stress points. On the blue loops I used a speedy stitcher and waxed thread. I would like to think i overbuilt the be-jesus out of this thing. But curious to see what all of you think. So I'm open to constructors criticism and any ideas on improvements. I threw some pictures of the accessories I made in there too just because I'm having a blast with the wife's sewing machine making gear and figured you all would appreciate it too.
