Hammock made with Sketchup...

MonkeyHumper writes - "My wife wanted a hammock for the backyard, and Sketchup came to the rescue. I found the easiest way to build in Sketchup is to build a bunch of standard lumber sizes and use them over and over again. I can't wait to make it... " - Link. Check out other projects that are made (or will be made) with Sketchup here - Link.
Since Sketchup went free, we're seeing a lot of new projects being posted - eventually you might be able to send off your files to a fabricator, lumber yard or whatever supplier - the stuff shows up, you make it! How cool will that be! Maker-aware suppliers could have all their parts/tools/things available as Sketchup components so we can use them to build our projects (and eventually order).

I suggest using these 12 foot 2x2's for extra support.
I used SketchUp last December to design a home-bar from scratch. I ended up designing the different sized pieces of lumber that I needed and pieced it all together, similar to this project.
