Tipi Report - The Backbone is Done!


A week after all the finishing work on the backbone of the cover began, all the work of the layered reinforcing and web-edging is all stiched into place. The lift flap feels solid, and the additional webbed-edging definitely makes the smoke flaps stronger. This morning the smoke flap pole pockets were quickly stitched in place, and it's time to move on to those front lacing strips. After 3 months it's kind of hard to believe the cover is nearly complete. Now work on the two strips is all that's really left. As usual, I'm taking my time to check, double check and adapt each piece as needed to make everything work together as a whole.
