  • Steps illustrating how to weave a replica World War II US Navy Hammock Clew. A hammock clew is the woven rope portion of the hammock that includes the steel ring and the rope "nettles" that attach to the hammock. The US Navy hammock clew is unique from other navy hammocks in the way it uses loops or "bights" in there rope to attach to the hammock body via a rope toggle system.

    Spent a couple of years onboard an old minesweeper in one of these, the spreaders or stretchers, were usually not permanently fitted because they were annoying and got in the way when you were taking them down and rolling them up for stowing during the daytime. So you'd remove them and place them inside your bedding before rolling it up. Also they were normally just a piece of 1" dowel about just over a shoulder width in length with a deep 'v' cut into each end , and you just slipped it between the end 'nettles' as you show, but it was always under the other nettles so that the wood was covered by them. It was just more comfortable that way. But I can vouch for them as being the way to sleep in real rough weather.

    This was an excellent tutorial, I made a woven hammock using approximately 500 ft of rope and passed the nettles through the loops of the rope and integrated the whole thing into one fixed hammock. It made it a bit more challenging but the end result is worth it. Thank you once again.

    to be made in original Navy fashion, the working ends will need to make a box... address line with shuttle, run the left working end first then the right. Next, address the line with the shuttle again then run the right working end first followed by the left and continue

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 8 lety +1

      +John Beltman I don't have any specific information. Based on my research, there was some variability depending on the location. You could make the nettles/clew shorter if you need.

    • @jbman413
      @jbman413 Před 8 lety +2

      +John Beltman Im sorry Derek I was thinking of the points from which to hang the hammock from or how much length of space would be required to hang the hammock. I guess i wasn't clear when I asked. From the pictures it looks like with any luck perhaps 3 feet beyond the hammock canvas length at the shortest distances maybe... Thank you Derek I find your work very interesting!

      Are you talking about the clew? The WWII Navy Hammock uses duck cotton/canvas as the body fabric; it is not woven.

    This was great. We had one when I was a kid, probably from Great Lakes, in Illinois.
    I spent a lot of time swinging on that canvas in the setting sun on hooks on each side of our garage door opening.
    I used to wish it had spreader bars like some hammocks, but that would make it less stable and you can roll out.
    On a ship, the shallow hang makes it so you can hang guys over each other bunk bed style.

  • @DerekHansen
    @DerekHansen  Před 10 lety +1

    Eric, if you're talking about strength advantage, than I'm not sure. I haven't done any strength testing. On one end of the spectrum the shoulder sword mat knot is decorative, but I does provide some practical advantages. It keeps all the nettles from getting tangled (a common problem with single nettle clews) and it also secures the ring and prevents it from migrating. Another major advantage is that it prevents the nettles from slipping and moving through the ring and the hammock. Since this design uses a continuous line, it would be possible for the line to migrate through the clew as you lay in he hammock, making one end shorter and another longer.

  • @DerekHansen
    @DerekHansen  Před 11 lety +1

    Great idea! Yes, having a tensioning device on the top is helpful.

  • @jasonduncan3532

  • @DerekHansen
    @DerekHansen  Před 10 lety +6

    Sailors would often put a spreader bar that had notches on the ends to hold the two ends apart but still allow the center to sag. If your goal is to flatten out the hammock, you might consider a different approach. Inserting a bar will introduce bending forces that may not hold. Typically, spreader bars have holes drilled in the bar that helps keep the nettles from sliding together. This also transfers the forces into compressive, which are easier for the bar to handle.

    Hi Derek, great video. Going to try this out this week - just wondering - when making the clew is there a specific length that the working ends of the rope need to be?

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 9 lety

      The working ends do not need to be very long -- just 2-3 feet.

  • @soomacat492

  • @jamthomson1
    @jamthomson1 Před 6 lety

    Great video Mr. Hansen. I have just starting net making and want to make a net hammock. Would this clew work for a net hammock as well? Loved your book as well and it is what got me into hammock camping and I plan to thru-hike the AT in 2019 with my hammock. Thanks again.

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 6 lety

      Yes, this clew can be used on any number of hammocks. Slight modifications and it can be used with traditional Nicaraguan hammocks and even Pawley's Island rope hammocks with spreader bars. The fundamentals are the same, just adjusting the frame to get the nettles the way you want them.

  • @joeterry2112
    @joeterry2112 Před 10 lety

    Instead of feeding a rope through the loops to hook on the cloth part of the hammock, could you use a rod and use that as a spreader bar?

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 10 lety

      For an authentic WWII Navy Hammock, they didn't use spreader bars in that way. The thicker rope was used to toggle all the loops from the clew. Many Sailors did use a spreader bar, but it was just a board used to push aside the edges and could be easily removed. You can see an example in this photo:

    Awsome video though,lol! :) Can you use anything else besides the large rope to use on the loops?

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 9 lety

      Yes, but that large rope also acts to prevent the hammock ends from compressing together or gathering in, which helps to "lengthen" the hammock feel.

    • @DerekHansen
      @DerekHansen  Před 6 lety

      Doesn't matter too much. The frame can be adjusted, as can the ring placement. Just remember not to tighten too much because the weaving will take up slack in the line automatically.
