I have made two phantom clones. In the process I have:
Destroyed on singer 4452
Bought a sailrite clone
Bought all manner of webbing, thread, derlin balls, needles, binder clips, and various other sewing paraphernalia.
Spent closer to $800 (or more) more than I want to calculate.
I also learned ALOT. Gained valuable experience, began a new chapter of my self taught DIY experience. I hope to have the satisfaction of harvesting a deer from one of my DIY saddles.
These are pretty comfortable but I plan on building more with slightly different dimensions and shape.
I have not actually seen a phantom in person but I am sure it is much higher quality and WAY cheaper than what I have spent to get mine. If anybody is thinking of doing this to get their own "phantom" just buy one from tethrd, it will be of superior quality and less expensive. But DIY isn't usually about saving money, at least it isn't for me. There are alot of guys (and gals I'm sure), on here that have contributed on here. Especially @always89, his threads motivated me. And thanks to the Tethrd guys for being some of the first DIY guys on here and for encouraging it to continue.
