DIY Kestrel is done!!

[BackSpasm]

Unfortunately, there aren't any plans for the bag, I just made it out of my head. I'm about to make a couple more so I'll take pics when I do.

Man I would really like that!

Gotcha covered. I'm just waiting on more material to come in so I can build more bags and a mesh Kestrel/Mantis.

Where do you source the material if you don't mind me asking.

Sorry for the delay. I got the pouches done and will post a few pics in a bit.

Depending on what I'm making, I'll order material from Ebay or rockywoods.com.

Are you're adjusters plastic or steel? Just curious how they will hold up, hopefully they do, I used 2" heavy duty plastic adjusters from an old treestand harness and they're "massive" compared to the 1" adjusters. If they hold up good let me know because I feel like cutting mine off and using smaller ones.

My 1" adjusters are working fine. No complaints here.

Looks like excellent work

Maybe I missed it, but did you compile the (approximate) cost of all your materials?

 

[William74080]

Very impressed!! Like the strata also!!

Looks good

Why don't you make it, so the leg portion comes down lower, this should give move support if sitting. Looks great btw

It does come down far enough. When I'm sitting this goes down to hamstrings, I just have more ass than most.

I really need to try this now i have a better sewing machine, one question I have is do you sew the panels folded from the inside first then turn to the correct way or just pin and stitch from outside up, regards wayne.
