Ferret nets

[Trev Smilerface 38]

As some of you may know im going to start making me own purse nets. But i was thinking to myself after seeing the prices that some of the fellas on here charge, and i cant get my head around how there so cheap. Ok, i understand that some may be knocking a few together in a day but how the heck do people like Agouti and them make a living from it.....cause the time and effort to make them and the cost its just wrecked my head trying to figure it out.

 

How many nets can one of the serious netmakers make in a day?

eyeing up the competition already trev im not sure mate they reckon 20 mins for an experienced guy per net,after buying the gear and selling the nets for £3.00 each they aint making much.yis dave

q=aye 20 minutes for a net and i let them go for £2.50 its a hobby not a business and i just get the joy of knowing alot of people are getting good nets that dont drop to bits as the ones i bought when i were young were rubbish you will never make a living from rabbit nets it barley covers the cost of materials

its a hobby more than a money making venture thats why so many people advertise then vanish after a couple of weeks. like most things in life boreing and monotinous for very little financial gain

I'll just add it to my hobby list....if i get any good at it then i may sell a few on.......after i got mine made first

Thats it you just hope the folk that buy them enjoy using a descent net and none of that shop bought crap

your lucky to be getting £2.50 £2 here but i only make for mates now when asked, but have to say theres nothing better than seeing a bunny trussed up in a net youve made yourself even after 40 yrs

Well i'll be taking some great pleasure in making mine, may take a wgile to get them made up. But at least when ive got them done i know they are going to last me out for a fair while. If any of the lads round my way want some then i wont mind knocking a few together for them. Serious lack of anything like that over here or hard to find apart from on ebay and then ya get stung on the postage. Will give it a bash ..........if not i'll be buying some nets albert64 :whistling:
