16.Weaving hammocks(吊床) is an art that takes a sharp eye,a skilled hand and lots of patience.But in Lenwood Haddock's case,being blind works to his advantage.His trained,sensitive hands can perfectly handle every step of the complicated process.Since beginning his craft in 1986,Lenwood has woven about 145,000 perfect hammocks.Now 61,Lenwood lost his sight in 1973,at age 18,during a hunting accident."My whole working career has been blind,"he says.He first found a job as a woodworker,but when that organization closed,the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks.
On his first day of work,"I did a total of one hammock,"Lenwood recalls,laughing."And then I came home and laid on the sofa and went to sleep.I lift weights,but I wasn't as tough as I thought until I started weaving.It takes a lot of energy,and you're standing up all day."
In time,however,Lenwood got into a good working rhythm and found he had a gift for the job.At first he worked on-site at the company,but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he'd worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.
Since Lenwood began with Hatteras Hammocks 30 years ago,the company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock Source.Today,it is the world's largest maker and seller of hammocks,all built by hand.
