How Do You Make Rabbit Nets Using A Wooden Frame

[jocky 198]

Does any one no how you back purse net using a wood frame with nails in. my dad used to make them on large wooden frame with lots of nails in. but i cant remember how he made it. would like to make one so i can start make my own nets again. thanks all.

never seen that method,we always used a needle to make purse nets,and gate nets, but to be fair there cheap enough to buy these days,why punish yourself knitting them,only get string burns on fingers

try u tubing it mate im sure there some on there but when I was young it was a row of nails along a bit of wood with the string hanging down and you just tie two together and work along then go down the depth you want and do the two that isn't joined together and so on and so forth as clear as mud when I read it back lol

and each nail was the centre of the twine, if you were doing a 4ft net that would be a 9ft length of twine hung equally over the nail and a nail for every mesh wide you wanted the net to be. the nails were nt spread as wide as the finished net would be

Just read both them posts,,,and I ain't a clue,,,lol

[jocky 198]

Your a glutton for punishment mate. Twenty , thirty minutes will see you rattle off a net using ring and spacer board with a needle why make it hard work for yourself ?

Each length of twine is folded in half and a over hand knot forms a loop in the middle. 15 of these will give you 15 meshes wide. Hang them on a row of nails or hooks equally spaced at the width of the net you want, then Just take one "leg" from the pair next to it and join with a simple over hand knot. Your diamond mesh is formed by the zig zagging that comes from joining it to its neighboring strand. I dont know if Ive actually made that any clearer at all lol

 

I think this is the way they teach on survival courses and in the military, as its a fast way to put a net together, and you can make them any size providing you have suitable materials to make fishing nets or hammocks..

best way mate and im being seurous dont listen to drivle on here, go to someone that makes nets like mick dadd or if you were up here in scotland teach you in an hour or two ,

 

i would say a day helping a ,man and learning how to do its a day worth well spending , forget about all the nails and boards do it properly ,

 

learn with needle and spacer then when you get handy you can gauge the mesh and tallyho do it free hand like fishermen do on boats harbours for a living ,

he asked and some of us tried to explain how to do it . and yes using needle and mesh gauge is the way to do it nowadays but to say you, then can then do it with out the mesh gauge is DRIVLE to me how or why would you want to do it with out one unless you are repairing a net with a hole in it

[jocky 198]
