Good luck with the net making mate you get a great feeling of self satisfaction when you catch rabbits in nets you made yourself

you will make a few fu*k ups to start with but keep at it and it soon clicks into place

net making is pretty easy we done it as juveniles no books vidoes just played about with old shop bought nets , learned abit from fishermen were we grew up , i would say ninty percent of adults could learn

Just for anyone else looking for netmaking gear http://www.arthurcar....uk/default.asp these folks just rung me up about my order for the gear and really good customer service and i asked a few questions on the phone and certainly new there stuff.

 

Didnt have 8inch needles in stock so went for the smaller and there chucking in a free one too ....result.

Wish it was here mate .....reckon it'll take about 5-7 days from u.k to here but was posted today....now just the waiting game. Im quite a patient guy so i'll take me time when i start them and hopefully get a few knocked up before end of season :icon_eek: . I do lockpicking and you need a lot of patience with that, so should be ok.

Hi Trev, was the cost of delivery for your net making gear from the UK very expensive?

 

I live in Cork as well and can't find anyone over here who supplies twine and rings either, I'm going over to the UK at the end of the week visiting relatives, so I am going to bring some gear back with me. I have been practising with garden twine and a home made wooden needle and think I have got the hang of it.

Nope i cant find twine anywhere here in ireland. I have 7 inch needles and 100 rings ......i used these guys https://www.arthurcarteruradshop.co.uk. and as they didnt have the poly in stock they said when they do they give me free shipping on them. I tried everywhere marine shops the whole lot and couldnt find them anywhere.
