bobcullen79 1,495 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 LOL cracking job just watch for splinters LOL ............ Ive got some old nets that would go nice in there aint I Socks.. .. Is that a screw poking out the baton on the far side? If it is, its gonna snag like a bitch, that said, most of them corners and edges will probably snag at some point. Fair play for having a go at it though, looks like I made it You could do with a smaller meshed bag for the basket, so your longnet doesnt slip through, pick up crap and tangle. Quote Link to post

Its just the light shining of the bottle behind, i tried to make sure all the screws were sunken to reduce snagging as much as possible ....... might work might not we will see!! Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Credit to you for trying but I can see your nets going to catch and snag. It will be firewood by the end of the night. Or you could always put your shelves back up! 2 Quote Link to post

Mate, at least you`ll gain a bit of experience.If you can get on with it, you`ll be banging at it by the time you get round to getting a proper one. I always try to make, before I buy. I should also learn my lesson where wood is concerned really. Quote Link to post

I am by no means proffessional, just in it for the crack, thought if I can make something useable for £2.60 rather then splashing out, then I would give it a try! And I am a tight b*****d lol 1 Quote Link to post

freelance 448 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ive got some old 3x2 left over from some studding, might knock one up. Also could be a dual purpose basket and double up as a lobster pot !!!!!!!! Quote Link to post
