net making

[bunnybuster 1]

hi i have made 5 or 6 purse nets now and have tried two different ways, first way i tried i follwed this website

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ferreter/nets.htm

and the second i tried from this website

http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/tutorials.htm

 

my question / well problem is that my nets are a mess, i take my time trying to get it all even and all meshes the same but nothing is working to good so far. i am using spun polyester.

so i was just wondering whether it comes with practice or is there an easy way to make these nets. should i be using a different material to start with ? just looking for a few pointers really as surely there is greater satisfaction neting rabbits in your own nets made by your self.

 

any advice greatly appreciated

aye mate when I first started I was and gone mental,fingers all cut tae almost gave up and flung the stuff oot the windae, got it sussed now though , just practice and I changed from bright orange poly to a more sombre colour, seemed to make the difference, all in the mind though I think

 

good luck

Practice ,practice and more practice as one slipped knot and your nets f*cked . But but a cheap string to practice with till your happy your getting it right

I'd advice starting out with garden twine till you have got the hang of the knots no good for nets really but good enough to learn with as for being rough on your hands try a weight lifters mitt, leather and fingerless
