Decades ago I fell in love with and got inspired by the tent Bill Mason often used. I taught myself sewing starting a couple years ago with simple projects like pouches, sweatshirts, camping stuff. I finally felt ok to tackle this project. I watched many 'how to' vids, but 2 channels that stand out for helping me include Sailrite (very good canvas sewing vids), and Simon a bloke in the woods, who also built a Baker. Design and specs were my own, though of course inspired by many versions out there. I tried to incorporate the features it should likely have. Several parts were very challenging, and of course ran into a few hiccups here and there, but overall I'm quite satisfied with the end result.
