Easy steps to follow to tie the US Navy clew knot exactly like they were tied during WWII.
I have search the interweb and have not found another clew tutorial video or clew instructional that correctly ties the clew as it was tied during WWII on the standard issued US Navy Hammock. I was able to reverse engineer the hammock clew from my grandpa's WWII US Navy issued hammock to preserve this knot.
I would have liked to use a natural fiber rope for the clew but I had to use what was a available to me. There is no doubt in my mind that I will make another one that uses a more accurate rope.
Repairing my grandfather's WWII US Navy Hammock. I needed to make a new clew as the old one had a few broken loops. I this video I make a simple frame to aid in the weaving of a new clew.
I couldn't have gotten this far without the work of Derek Hansen his video got me 90% there. • WWII US Navy Hammock C... His clew will work, but it is not the clew that was used on the US Navy hammocks during WW2.
What is a hammock clew? a Clew is a set of ropes used to suspend the hammock.

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!
So awesome to hear!
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 happy to hear of your success
Excellent
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.
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!
Thank you for sharing your story. Ropes are great fun.
Beautiful tutorial.
Thank you and your grandpa for this information.
You explain things very well.
Thank you!
I want to try this. Bless your father for serving our country
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 .
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.
Glad to help.
Thank you 😊 for sharing ... just finished part 2 🤟🏻.
Straightforward, informative, no music! Great video!
I appreciate that!
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!
Well explained very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to share. You have a brilliant mind.
This is amazing. Thank you so much.
Wonderful!! Easy to follow! Thank you so much!
Muy buen trábajo, intentaré repetirlo.
Gracias desde Benidorm (España)
Привет, ну как получилось повторить? Расскажи о своëм опыте
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
great description of how to create the clew
Saudações do Brasil!!!
Agradecido por compartilhar seus conhecimentos...
Muy buena su explicacion me gusto mucho tiene un hermoso talento Dios lo vendiga siempre,desde Bolivia
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!
That is great news Heidi.
Beautiful work, I did not have a clue, now I need two🥰
You did not have a clue, or a clew…he he.
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!
Thank you. I'm making a clew and hammock from braided home Depot bags. You instruction was very helpful
You are so welcome!
Awesome!! Easy to follow.
Dress right dress, looks awesome its the little details that get lost over the years.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Before this I had no clue, thanks for jiging my memory
lol love the puns
I was clewless too.
yiz
Very well explanation, thank you so much
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.
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
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!😊
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!!)
Interesting, thank you.
nice viideo GRACIAS FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. great for the island YESSS!
You are an artist
Thanks very much
Muchas gracias por el video, me ayudo mucho.
Saludos desde Paraguay ❤️
hello Paraguay !
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
Thank you for your kind comment. I hope that the languages can also be added one day
Yes thank you
Exelente trabajo
Great job! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Saludos, muy buen trabajo. Me encantaría ver el tejido de la hamaca al completo. Gracias.
Wow great video! Will try. God bless
What kind of rope do you buy for the whole hammock and how much do you need total?
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!
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?
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you sir
Дякую вам за працю, хай щастить
a cool skill! thanks
I have a set of those from WWII that my dad made when on the Nashville
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Awesome
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
Thank you,great video.
Glad you liked it!
So cool
Very nice
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 TH-cam. Nice video, thanks!
Nice,perfect
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 😊🇵🇹
Excelente
Thank you
A good idea
Merci beaucoup 👍👌💯🙏
good story for the night)
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.
This is good information. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
THANKS
😍👍👍👍👍 great video
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?
Благо дарю!
What width nylon rope did you use? I have 3mm cotton yarn but think I should use thicker like 6mm?
What size steel ring should be used for the clew
Thank
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 nice! Knots are really fascinating for me. One question: what can you use this for? I mean, what can it be apart from a very nice decorative thing? Sorry for my ignorance
Edit: I checked what a hammock is 😂. Sorry, English is not my native language
Lol
So not Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick?
I must've misread the clew 🤔
good veaving
Good
saludos es muyyyy bonito trabajo pero no entiendo el i gles que bueno que lo ablara en español bendisiones
very well explained. Good job.
what is the rope technical specification for purchase it.
thanks.
check pinned comment
Oh, and what do you recommend as the best rope to use? I thought parachute cord, but am seeing negative reviews about that for hammocks. Thank you so much for your expertise.
A natural fiber rope will work the best.
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. th-cam.com/video/umPTAlLu4ZY/w-d-xo.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. :-)
Hola me encanta teje pero no se como se llama es tejido
How thick is the rope?
Visualmente entendible, sin embargo como me ayudaría que alguien tradujera. Gracias.
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 !!
50 ft
@@natelarge thank you !
Всё так понятно,даже на английском.Спасибо
Que bom
So wheres to hammock? I suppose that what you have done is part of the left foots hammock. How is the rest done??????
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 👍
Ευχαριστώ πολύ αγαπητέ μου από την Pafo Cuprys
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.
Wow.. 👍👍
Nice🇧🇷👏👏👏👏
what kind of rope did you used? what material?
This was a nylon rope. I would like to change it to a natural fiber.
Did you have the continued video I'm interested to make it thank you
see video description
Is there a specific pattern for the jig? Nice explanation
I have a video on the jig. link in the description
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.
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."
Where did you get the rope from?
Home Depot or Lowe's
