Finally has a few hours this am to play with the new Juki and some snake skin printed webbing I found.

How do you like the rings over the fixed bridge loops? I'm thinking the rings would slide on the support webbing, finding the balance between the upper and lower sections on their own. Instead of moving the bridge connection up or down to find the right balance. But I've never sat in one.

Dead on sir. The rings add a bit of weight ( this saddle is right at 1.5 lbs) but you really cant beat the comfort and adjustability.
 
Sounds like you got a new machine. What size thread are you running on this one.
 
Looks great! You did great work with the 4452. I suspect we will keep seeing cool gear from you. Congrats on the new thread injector. Going to show it in some videos?
 
I think I heard he said he gonna fab up a western snakeskin lined concho banana hammock to go with his pimp gear for early season
 
Looks awesome, but not for me. I've got a case of treestand ophidiophobia ever since a snake fell on me while hunting out of state with my brother. He told me all 3 poisonous snake species in the state are found in that hunting area.

I don't know if a bird dropped it or what, but it scared the crap out of me. Sucker laid still on the ground for hours and I thought it was dead after being heaved from 20+ feet, but then I saw it's tail rise. I spent most of the remaining hunt keeping tabs on the recovering reptile. By the evening, it had gone and I got out of there on high alert.

Love your style though, cool looking saddle.

I probably would have had a heart attack in that situation. Either that or I’d still be in the tree death gripping my stand.
