That is a quality build, and an inspiration for us contemplating building one of these.
7 May 2019 at 7:44 pm #558286I’m all for relaxing under that fine dragon structure, myself, though it looks to be quite the commitment in time and money. I did not need any portability myself, so when I decided to sleep outside on nice cool spring and autumn days, I simply sunk two 4×4’s into the ground with cement at 45% angles to each other for more strength. I was promptly surprised how much spring they had when I got into the hammock. It wound up to be unusable with my tarp, so now I’m considering staking them out with a chain on either opposite end, cemented into the ground. If that still doesn’t hold – I need a new diet, I guess. 🙂

How high is the ceiling of the structure?
7 May 2019 at 7:35 pm #558284Very nice. I’d like to see your progress and more photos, as I’m interested in doing something similar, but always get stumped in the details of the planning. Are you making this to size for a specific insert to hold the soil?
7 May 2019 at 5:40 pm #558278I’m sort of late to the party here, but thought I’d put one idea out. I’m away from woodwork for over twenty years now and have no experience with sharpening woodworking tools, but was a machinist and have used diamond plates extensively. It’s not mentioned how the OP was using his diamond plate, but if a diamond plate slows quickly in it’s cutting action, it sounds like the cutting fluid may not be used in enough quantity, or perhaps not being replenished enough during the cutting process. The fluid prevents the diamond plate from clogging up the cutting action.
While I believe that water is the normally recommended carrier fluid, I’ve always preferred the commercial honing fluid we had.
Lastly, for the finer stones, diamond paste speeds up the cutting process a great deal.
