Nate, I built the jig (with slight variations and shortcuts) a few days ago and I made the clew today. I watched your instruction several times before starting to do it actually and I kept your video right in front of me while I did it. It turned out exactly as you showed, thank you very much!
Nice work. We had an old chief bosun teaching stuff like this on the destroyer i was stationed on back in the early 70's. When we weren't at battle stations, he would sit and show the rope items were made. This was right up there with his stuff. Simply intricate. Thanks for sharing!
I very much appreciated this! It allowed me to take apart my wife's favorite, 15 year old, hammock chair, refinish the wood and make a new clew and hang it good as new. Thank you!
So clear and clever. Thank you for making easy what I have thought would be difficult. I HATE to throw away good things and now I can fix my beloved hammock.
I herited from my dad his NAVY hammoc and the clew need to be replace. I did not know how since i got the hammoc. Thank to you now i will be able to do it.
I just bought a hammock stand today, and the seller threw the hammock in for free as a rodent chewed through part of the quilted canvas and much of the clew rope. Now I can fix it and have this $300 hammock in working shape!
Hi many thanks for sharing , a very systematic clear presentation !!! The photo of the old work is a very important detail !!! Congratulations and best wishes .
Awesome video, enjoyed doing this art shown to you by your Father, thanks for sharing. My hammock turned out really good and now I want to make a chair, which I think will have varied lengths of rope. If you have a template for this I'd be really grateful.
Hello from Portugal 🇵🇹 you’ve explained everything in a way that everyone can understand. Can you please tell me the measurements of the rope? And how much rope did you kept on your left? Can you tell me in centimeters? Thank you so much 😊🇵🇹
Looks like you could put a keychain loop or binder ring or whatever around each string, put the blue painter tape strings' rings to the back and the other set to the front.. Connect all rings on each side with a rod or whatever, then you don't have to re-run the rod each time
BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for this amazing demonstration. Your presentation is so easy to follow. Would you consider doing a demonstration of how the rest of the hammock is made and how to finish the opposite end? Grüße aus Deutschland!
Interesting. The original keeps the traveler/cross-ropes (?) parallel where they go from side to side. Looks flatter and a bit neater. (Not criticising, only observing; I've never seen this done before, so I'm not an expert) Thanks for showing us!
What is the purpose of the clew? I have made several hammocks just using a single knot to tie the ripstop or canvas. The result is similar to the eno style hammocks. Does the clew have some benefits over the eno style hammocks?
I can only find ONE problem. When you shoot the working runner through, it should always be the same, as in right side through then left side through, I vice versa.. wonderful bit of rope work.
Thanks very much for a nice clear instruction video. I do have one question however, I notice that your nails along the bottom part of the frame are not in a straight line and seem quite specifically curved, why is that please?
It's covered in my video on the clew jig build. ua-cam.com/video/umPTAlLu4ZY/v-deo.html The curve is there because the measurements on an actual WWII navy clew had those lengths.
@@natelarge ah...brilliant, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I visited our local marine chandlers yesterday to look at their ropes etc as I’m going to follow your instructions and build a hammock. :-)
Clew is the old word for a ball of yarn. The ‘thread’ of a story. The ball of thread to help you out of a maze. Clue does come from clew. So you weren’t that far of.
thank for sharing ! So well explained ! I was looking for this kind of tutorial to occupy my son who wants a hamac "home made" ! Just a question : how much long is the rope to make the clew ? Thank you !!
Un sincero saludo desde mi hermosa cartagena Colombia.exelente trabajo.en mi país se llama cabeza de amaca. Deberían de subir la traducción para quienes no entendamos el idioma.le quedó súper hermosa
That's cool and all - but I'm curious why they're constructed like that. Is it to reinforce the ropes that are likely to have the most weight on them? (the ones closest to the center)
Any body slept in one of these navy hammocks who can give a review of how to set up a sleep in the navy style hammock? Quite different from the many gathered end hammocks in videos on UA-cam. Nice video, thanks!
Use 42" wide canvas that is 88" long. The finished dimensions of the hammock are 39" wide 80" long. I believe the canvas is at minimum a #4(24 oz) double fill duck. The clew rope is a 3/16" 3-strand cotton 50' long.
Awesome instructions!!! Clear and concise!!!! I’ve been looking for a video to teach me this for a long time!!! Ok so I got the clew part so how do u weave the rest of the hammock I would love to be able to make my own!!!!!
A dumb question, so sorry in advance, but my jig needs to be the same width as my hammock - right? I ask because your jig is only 20" wide, but your Grandpa's hammock looks much wider than that - maybe 36-40 inches.
Imagine if you will the first sailor that was looking at a big coil of rope and thought to himself "How can I make a hammock?' How many attempts until he figured it out?

Did you make the chair… would be interested to see how it turned out
So clear and clever. Thank you for making easy what I have thought would be difficult. I HATE to throw away good things and now I can fix my beloved hammock.
Beautiful tutorial.
Thank you and your grandpa for this information.
You explain things very well.
Thank you!

Glad to help.
Straightforward, informative, no music! Great video!
I appreciate that!
I want to try this. Bless your father for serving our country
Thanks This was very helpful in repairing an old torn hammock
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It's hard to find videos that have audio and the demonstration with no music. Kudos to you!

Beautiful work, I did not have a clue, now I need two🥰
You did not have a clue, or a clew…he he.
Дякую вам за працю, хай щастить

Thank you. I'm making a clew and hammock from braided home Depot bags. You instruction was very helpful
You are so welcome!

Before this I had no clue, thanks for jiging my memory
lol love the puns
I was clewless too.
yiz
Wonderful!! Easy to follow! Thank you so much!
great description of how to create the clew
This is so awesome!!! I'd love to give this a try. So glad I stumbled across your channel 💛
Yay! Thank you!
Mistake in second stage eliminating first set of strings
Очень доходчиво. Спасибо.

Muy buen trábajo, intentaré repetirlo.
Gracias desde Benidorm (España)
Привет, ну как получилось повторить? Расскажи о своëм опыте
Saludos, muy buen trabajo. Me encantaría ver el tejido de la hamaca al completo. Gracias.
Thank you,great video.
Glad you liked it!
This is good information. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
Muchas gracias por el video, me ayudo mucho.

hello Paraguay !
Very well explanation, thank you so much

I have two more videos on this hammock but I plan on a series on making this hammock from scratch.
Other end is made the same as this side.
Is the rest of the hammock tutorial available yet?
What size steel ring should be used for the clew
Thanks for tutorial
Well explained very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to share. You have a brilliant mind.
Muy buena su explicacion me gusto mucho tiene un hermoso talento Dios lo vendiga siempre,desde Bolivia
Can you do this with mule tape?

Não entendo sua fala mas tudo que nos mostra é de se entender perfeitamente! Maravilhoso trabalho!!!!
I love the translation feature! It lets us listen to one another!😊
What is the purpose of the clew? I have made several hammocks just using a single knot to tie the ripstop or canvas. The result is similar to the eno style hammocks. Does the clew have some benefits over the eno style hammocks?
Wow great video! Will try. God bless
I have a set of those from WWII that my dad made when on the Nashville
Did you have the continued video I'm interested to make it thank you
see video description
Great job! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
what kind of rope is on the OG Clew?
I can't find the video where you finish the hammock
What width nylon rope did you use? I have 3mm cotton yarn but think I should use thicker like 6mm?
How funny is it that i need to weave a hammock using two Walmart craft sticks- and I come to this video to see you using the exact same stick as me
How much cord do you use? What size?
see pinned comment
My dad joined WW2 early on. The boat he was on was issued the components to make their own hammocks.
This is neat info. I had wondered if they might have done so. Thank you for the insight.
very well explained. Good job.
what is the rope technical specification for purchase it.
thanks.

this is where the saying "doesn't have a clue" came from. New sailors didn't know how to make a clew so it really was "don't have a clew" originally.
I totally just made this up btw
@@danddel😂
But possibly very close to the truth

Ahora como ensartar a la hamaca , por facor
good story for the night)
Nice,perfect
You should add metric measures?
bro come on ;-)
Work it out … it’s not hard… or ask google to convert for you!
This is amazing. Thank you so much.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Спасибо🙏💕😊❤
Oh my, I've got to make video of how I make saddle cinches and girths (I like this video as much as weaving cord girths!!)
a cool skill! thanks
That's cool and all - but I'm curious why they're constructed like that. Is it to reinforce the ropes that are likely to have the most weight on them? (the ones closest to the center)
It creates a basket to hold the person in the hammock. You can tie it will less arc for less basket.
@@natelarge Ahh. That makes sense.
What kind of rope do you buy for the whole hammock and how much do you need total?
Excelente
saludos es muyyyy bonito trabajo pero no entiendo el i gles que bueno que lo ablara en español bendisiones
Is there a way to do it without the jig? I don’t think I have anything to build one of those.
You can use a small sheet of plywood and put a few nails in it to hold the parts
I just put a 1inch piece of wood with hooks across it at intervals onto the side of my plant stand and hooked a carabiner at the top… works well

It is for hanging a canvas hammock
You are an artist
How thick is the rope?
What size rope is that?

Awesome instructions!!! Clear and concise!!!! I’ve been looking for a video to teach me this for a long time!!! Ok so I got the clew part so how do u weave the rest of the hammock I would love to be able to make my own!!!!!
These instructions are for a canvas hammock. I don't yet have instructions available for the rest of the hammock.
Can you help me to build a jig like yours?
1) Clew jig ua-cam.com/video/umPTAlLu4ZY/v-deo.html
A dumb question, so sorry in advance, but my jig needs to be the same width as my hammock - right? I ask because your jig is only 20" wide, but your Grandpa's hammock looks much wider than that - maybe 36-40 inches.
The jig should NOT be as wide as your hammock. My grandpas hammock is 39' wide 80' long
Could this be used to hold a hammock chair?
for sure
Imagine if you will the first sailor that was looking at a big coil of rope and thought to himself "How can I make a hammock?' How many attempts until he figured it out?
He probably grew up making fishing nets and thought "I'm tired of sleeping on the wet deck."
Merci beaucoup 👍👌💯🙏
Is there a specific pattern for the jig? Nice explanation
I have a video on the jig. link in the description
Благо дарю!
Всё так понятно,даже на английском.Спасибо
A good idea
When you're passing the working ends through, does one consistently stay in front, or do they alternate?
I don't think there is a right or wrong on that one.
@@natelarge fair enough, one less thing to worry about 👍
Awesome!! Easy to follow.
What is a Clew?
Thank you 😊 for sharing ... just finished part 2 🤟🏻.
