So this is what ive been working on the last month or so and its finally complete! I have to say im really happy with it. I sat in it for about 2 hours yesterday morning and it was quite comfortable. This isnt my first DIY saddle but definitely the first I'm not embarrassed to show anybody lol. Yall don't pick on my sewing too bad.
I guess you could call this a phantom clone. The frame is made or 2 inch seat belt webbing and I used high strength thread for the box stitches. The leg loops and waist belt are made from standard webbing and are not load bearing however I don think they need to be in my opinion. I also did not add a lineman loops as i rarely ever use the lineman belt as i live in eastern Georgia and most trees i climb are straight up and down pine trees with little to no limbs. If i should need them however i climb with a rock climbing harness as a backup in case anyting should fail on my DIY setup and the harness has built in lineman rings that i will use.
