George Kinloch 16 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Is there anyone around the East Sussex area who could show me the art of net making. I know it's a big ask but would really appreciate it. Those YouTube tutorials leave me empty headed. Atb George Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Bit too far bud, Im 90 mile away, just checked. Cant believe theres no one closer to you.. Quote Link to post
George Kinloch 16 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 That's a shame mate. Thanks for checking though. Hopefully someone abit closer will see the post. Always the way though. Nice rifle or shotgun comes up for sale and its 200miles away. Lol Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, you know it. Just keep watching that vid on the other thread, "make or buy" Thats the one I used, and I got there.. Helps if you have your gear in your hand and are ready to go. The bit that fucks you up and most others, is forgeting to cast the twine over your hand before you do the actual knot, so instead of forming a knot, your just wrapping the twine round the other strands, hence the slip. Keep at it and it will click, and you`ll wonder were your head was at. Quote Link to post
George Kinloch 16 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks for the advice mate. Will definatly take it on board. It's just taking the step to buy the net making kit. I will do it but need to pluck up the courage. I see u can buy net making DVD's. do u think its worth getting one of them or just sticking to YouTube? Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I watched a few on you tube and agouti, and found the one I said about to best the best, its a geordie guy, with all his kit laid out on a table at the start, the guy is on here funny enough.... I wouldnt bother with a DVD, its one knot bud, once you learn it, your away, with the DVD gathering dust... Get a kit and get on it. It doesnt matter if you spunk your first roll of twine, its a learning curve. Plus you would still have the rings, drawcord, mesh board, and needles to reuse till your happy with what your producing.

George Kinloch 16 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Think I will get one as soon as I get paid. Would really think it would be benifital to my wallet and my hunting knowledge if I could make them. Thanks for the advice bob. I will drop u a pm and let you know how I get on. All the best George Quote Link to post
