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!

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!

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!

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

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?

@natelarge 3 жыл бұрын

It's covered in my video on the clew jig build. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9OAh6SdsduYio0.html The curve is there because the measurements on an actual WWII navy clew had those lengths.
