Tidy looking net son. You'll be wanting some oak pegs next? Jok.

Oak? That's a bit posh. Haha. I was gonna go collecting and making a few when I'm up and about but can't guarantee they will be oak. Lol.

i just happen to have a few oak boards lol the ones that warp or crack while drying will have a few off cuts? If you pay postage I'll send you some wood

Appreciate that fella. Nice one ?

looks a good net you cant beat catching in your own made nets.

Gaz. Let me know when you've made the first hundred nets and I'll bring the pegs up to you.lol.

Gaz.... Any chance you can knock me up a 50 yard longnet ? With 100% bagging of course

 

Pursenet looks ok tho mate, I've done a few myself over the years and a hemp stopnet..... Prefer to buy in nowadays

[Patterd Ales 59]

Got to be proper hemp , no nylon nonsense for me.

[Chicken_man 1,651]

Have you tapered it? Or just a straight run through?

How many meshes wide, mesh board size etc and which video did you watch?

Sorry for all questions, would like to have a go myself.

Made some in the past, but always twist around themselves

Net looks great ?

Ps,

It's a shitter breaking your ankle, did mine few yrs back, hated having to depend on others, but had to happen.

Get well ?

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Breeze I might have a bash at a long net but it won't be yet. Lol.

 

Chicken man - I watched 4 different videos and came up with my own method combining the different methods.

 

There is a very good video about 40 mins long by a Geordie bloke. I used his method of knot and I used an Irish guys method of tying the last ring on.

 

I'm using 2" mesh board.

 

I've settled on the following pattern...

 

8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 17

 

17,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,8

 

That gives a 4' net.

[Chicken_man 1,651]

I'll have a look see Gaz ?

See if you change the two middle 17's into 18's, it gives you a good wide net. I put a different colour twine on for the 17 18 18 17, so I know their mine. It doesn't take long to get into!

Cheers wideboy I will have a play around with that. Nice one.

I got a tip from an old net maker to use your index finger to hold the knot on top of the board instead of your thumb to keep your knots from slipping down.

 

I dont know if that makes sense to anyone but me. Its hard to explain in writing

[Flacko 1,755]

Don't know about your nets mate but if you get some oak I buy 50 pegs off you, suppose you can send nets on later lol atb Flacko
