bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 My hard numb bit is on my L/H ring finger, from straightening the meshes on the back of the board. Nothing the occasional nibble wont fix. I taught a lad to make nets the other day, and when we`re not ferreting, he`s knitting, you should see his hands Blisters on popped blisters..
