Looks great Cliff but I'm concerned that the cotton won't be heavy enough to hold off a heavy downpour without a really tight pitch. Whats the 'weight' like on the canvas? On a par with or heavier than the Force Ten weave?

 

[Stew]

Very tidy work so far.

 

[Twodogs]

Thanks Gents
Rik its been a long time since I used a vango force ten but its seems to be more of a mid weight canvas than a light cotton only time will tell .

Great stuff matey, I'm sure it will shed the rain no problem I know mine will. Especially with water seal involved.

Thanks for sewing the velcro on as well.

Awesome, if going old school a Baker can't be topped, especially a do it yourself job. Looking forward to seeing it in the woods in action.

This thread is making me envious.
How weighty is the baker?
I wants one but I'm not capable of making one myself

 

[Twodogs]
