net making tip

[kenny243 54]

hi everybody ,

for those ho make there onw nets ,

here is a little divise i have made that makes it easier to wind of the twine for filling the needle .

especially if the twine is on a spool without any edge on the spool .

with this divise the twine kan not flip of the edge of the spool because the twine is always pull to the middle when winding of .

you can just put it on the table or on the floor en start filling youre needle without any problems !

it works like a charm !

 

hope some of you find it usefull .

Looks good. Can you design something to get draw cord through peg holes? This is the most difficult aspect of making a net in my opinion.

[Aaron_butcher 17]

i use a skinny nail and push the cord through with that

hi ,

i had the same problem ,

made holes in my pegs and always find it hard to get the draw cord trough , now i take a pice of wire , verry thin wire , this i fold double en put the cord between , this helps a lot to get it trough , the wire is verry easy to get trough and the cord just follows .

you wil heve to make the hole in the peg a littele larger of course .

this method i use with the hemp

 

if i use nylon i just melt the ends with a lighter and right after i melt it i make it pointed with my fingers , this helps a lot getting the cord trough , when using two cord to put trough the hole just melt the two together and make them pointed .

 

hope this helps

hey leeview ,

yes this helped .

Thats a smart wee device ye got ther

i usually put a screw driver through and get the kids to hold it but i will be making one of them

[kenny243 54]

hey ,

i did the same thing with the screw driver and let the misses hold it , but when you have a spool without edge the twine like to flip from the edge and gets stuck on the screw driver .

this problem is resolved with the divise in the pic above because the twine gets puld away from the edge to the center hole .

Well done mate, obviously put a bit of thought into that apart from that women are useless with a screwdriver

[kenny243 54]

Thanks very much for the kind offer, but this is a family site where that sort of thing isn't encouraged gotta be down right unhygenic as well
