DIY Baker tent

[Stew]

Excellent. Love that you have put the tag back on - could really confuse someone in years to come!

So, apart from the romantic side of things, what's the plus points to the baker? (Not suggesting there is anything wrong with having one for romantic reasons, I'm all for that!)

lol nice touch Cliff will confuse some

Yer mans tent appears to have extra doors or possibly triangular sections off the body near the door opening... is that an alternate/ wind direction protection? And will you be using his pole arrangement? I like yours very much, it looks really stable

Heres the inspiration Bill Masons fire tent

I LOVE this thread. It's got everything... sewing machines being used hard, canvas, modding..... phhwwwooooaaaarrrr factor 10! You'll have it at Northwood won't you, 2D... I'm hoping to get higher management approval for both weekends just so I don't miss seeing it!!

Was the initial seaming part of the construction of the donor tent? I keep eyeing up my mates Matador and thinking awful temptation thoughts about his tilt

Here you go Martin , Baker tent update ,

Side panels on for some reason I kept having stoppages on the machine ( On looking inside there was thread on the bobbin and thread on the pin ,,,carry on sewing ) practising for when I get a sewing machine made by Vickers !!,

Think it was the bias of the material ,,,arrr Done now though .

Brilliant mate, absolutely fantastic.

Ooooh thats become huuuuuge!!!! MOST impressive I didn't realise they'd add so much space and infill the whole canopied area. Thats going to be cushty!

I wonder why the machine stopped.... working on the bias, you'd normally expect the work to slide around a bit under the foot and mostly, the bias cut bit to stretch as its fed through, especially if its directly on the feed dogs ie underneath layer. Sometimes it shows in a wee wobble or misplaced skipped stitch on the machine....What were the symptoms of its malfunction?

 

[Twodogs]

loads of missing the stich and jumping ,,, tested on another bit of fabric and it was fine ,,,moved over a bit in the end and got it to worked ..

brilliant mate i look forward to seeing it in the woods.
