Brass Ring & Eyelet Installation in a Sail (Traditional Style)

Brass rings can be used with eyelets at the corners of sails and anywhere a purchase on fabric is required. The rings are first sewn to the fabric with waxed twine (this makes them much stronger than any "pressed" grommet like the brass spur grommet.) Then the eyelet grommets are pressed inside to protect the thread from chafe. Use the same numbered ring and eyelet.

I grew up watching “this old house” with my dad. I always understood how things were done but never had the tools to try anything ourselves. Im afraid this video falls into that realm. Very well done and I enjoyed seeing how it was done, it’s relaxing to see a craftsman working his trade.
