Attaching clew to Sailors Canvas Hammock 

Look at the wear on those eyelets! I bet that hammock could tell many tales of it's service life; the missions, counties, battles, storms etc. Never change them!

Awesome. Thank you. As for your grandfather thankfully our country is a better place because of men like him. An honor to see you taking time to save some history and teach people

I think it's so nice that you have taken the time to learn how to do that to preserve your grandfather's WWII US Navy hammock. Nice work! 🙌👍🇺🇸

I`ve been trying for years to find out how these were made and your instructions pop up ,Thank you . I`ve now shared your instructions on various veteran sites as a lot of them are self sufficient and this adds to the knowledge base . The only thing missing is a quick guide to dimensions of material ,spacing of eyelets on the canvas and maybe if possible ,the quality grade of canvas available today. . Apart from that ,you have done an excellent presentation with clear concise instructions and views .

Çok teşekkürler en ayrıntılı ve açık anlatan sizsiniz

Hola Nate, antes que nada quiero felicitarte por reconstruir la hamaca que se utilizaba en la segunda guerra mundial. Yo soy una abuela de casi 70 años y me imagino con cuánto amor lo hiciste, para mantener viva la memoria de tu abuelo. Estamos en una extensa cuarentena + de 100 días, por el coronavirus, me entretuve viendo los dos vídeo y lo disfrute mucho, pues me encantan las manualidades y así llegué a tu canal. Abrazo enorme. Te saludo desde la República Argentina.

Excellent instruction. Thank you.

This is a fantastic video. A fun project. I am curious about the dimentions of the WWII canvas hammock. The finished dimentions...the 'fold over' for the grommetts...the fold over on each side... the size of the grommets. I would like to reproduce your grandfather's dimentions as close as possible. Thank you for your jig video for building the clew, thank you for the clew construction video, and thank you for this video that ties them together. This is fantastic. ☺

Awesome video, along with the clew video. I think quick release nature of the individual piece of rope secure with larks foots knots.I think that this was to enable the hammock to be used to wrap a deceased sailor in. They did this in Nelson’s time in the Royal Navy.

Amazing ! thank you very much .Exaclty what I was looking for , on time .

Wow....manila hemp from philippines.... Abaca in ours

Thanks for the video, very helpful, will be making one.

Wow! It's Wonderful. Thank you so much!

Amazing steps . I like it .

Liked and Subscribed, are there any videos out there about sleeping in a navy hammock? Not seeing any on a Utube search... how about a review on how to set up and how it sleeps, considering a similar hammock for my small boat, maximum hang height of 3ft...

What are the dimensions of the actual hammock, Length by width? Is it a simple rectangle or is there any shaping to it.

Hello my friend. Dating from the Second World War. Hamaka ring donning. Good idea. Decorative design. Thank you. Great greetings. Happy Easter.

The finished dimensions of the hammock are 39" wide 80" long. I believe the canvas is at minimum a #4(24 oz) duck canvas. The clew rope is a I believe he clew rope is a 1/4" natural fiber works best

O gancho mais fácil que eu já vi,muito boom 👍

this is a super cool project.

for home use replace the rope with a wooden rod btw a wonderfull project

Thank you for posting these videos. All of my uncles were in the Navy but during the Viet Nam war. My Grandfathers were both in WWII in the Army. I would like to know what the weight limit would be on this. I feel that this is an art that is slowly going away. But with Paracording coming into popularity maybe it will come back.

Great job, I am going to make one

Donde puedo consegir esa hamaca con argollas. Contestar por favor

Thankyou forte the Time 👍

Hi Nate, a squirrel decided to use the clew as a chew toy. Any advice appreciated. These 2 videos r done very well, you make it look so easy. It doesn't have grommets, it has an area similar to seam you'd feed elastic thru w holes for clew ends. Can i use the the rope like u did but feed it thru the seam & wrap the ends around it similar to what u did? Any ideas? I have couple pics but YT won't let me put them in comments.

Благодарю вас, я этому научилась!!! Ура)))

Good stuff, Nate. I hope you will replace the nylon nettles with the proper material. If you really want to preserve the hammock, always save the old so others can compare the original with the replacement.

Excellent!!!!

You may want to look into purchasing a 1940 Navy Blue Jacket Manual. That should have information on the Hammocks in it. Fair winds, and following seas to your Grand Father, from one sailor to another.

Привітання , я зрозумів, що матеріал брезент , розмір 1* 2 м,але для себе я візьму десь 1,2 *2,2. ,це у готовому вигляді полотно,а ще треба на підвертання , шнур у діаметрі 4мм, канат скоріше 10- 16мм у залежності від металевих кілець, краще зробити два бруска 40 *40 *1200мм,в цих брусках просвердлити отвори під шнури і два кільця під гачки десь 200мм з проволоки 8 мм ,хай щастить,цікаво скільки все важитиме

COOL ;-D :-D

great video! 🙌🏻

Thank you.

I know the US Navy used to publish a 'Blue Book' of Procedures for seamen. I'm wondering if there may be a section in there on how to attach hammocks? Thanks.

Muy buen tutorial

What are the dimensions of the canvas part of the hammock? I want to replicate one. I'm thinking of using a canvas painters tarp and cut and sew it the correct size.

Thanks very much

want to see the weaving around the ring

Hello Nate. Greetings from Australia. Is there any chance of seeing this Hammock hanging from a tree or a frame please? I'm interested to see if it "cocoons" the occupant or not,. Considering that it doesn't have a "spreader beam" at each end of the clew. Or is it just the case that the design of the clew stops this from happening? Thank you in advance!

Hi! I remade this hammock this week, but when I made my brother test it out (he’s 15kg lighter haha) the eyelets stretched out. Like the hole got bigger. How can I prevent this? And maybe fix it.

Great!🇧🇷👏👏👏

Is this what she meant when she said I should get one?

Nice 👍

Hello, great guide :), I have a question, what dimensions does the material have? I want to make the same chamak, but I would like to make it for 2 people. I am going to hang it between wooden beams in the room, the distance of the beams is 3.6m, the beams are at a height of 2m. I wonder what length I will need material. I think the hammock will hang down a meter. What is the length of the cord from the metal ring up to the attachment in the material?

Great

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍
