good day folks.
thx to the admins for the quick turn around on registration.
I'm a mechanical engineering student, love the fiber arts and the great outdoors so its honestly kinda shocking i hadn't gotten into slinging sooner Grin

Just finished building my first properly engineered sling a bit ago(pic related) and now im working on getting my practice in.

It is more convenient to view on this forum when the image is no more than 600 pixels wide. I usually take a screenshot and crop everything superfluous in the photo.

I like the sling design, echoes of Primal Slings. I cant quite tell from the photo, what knot are you using for the finger loops? is it adjustable?
