Net making

[Bardster]

I recall someone wanting to know how to knit nets a while back and just stumbled on an old link that i used to teach myself

I have a few net needles floating around if any one wants me to bring them along to the july meet

Hi Bard!

I would definately be interested in having a look at this -- the survival aspects of net-making are huge

Thanks for that.

It's very similar to the plate in the Diderot & Dalembert encyclopedia.

I'd not thought of this before, but if you can get hold of one of the modern reprints of the plates from the encyclopedia, there is a huge amount of information about crafts that would be useful for bushcrafters.

How to make nets and fish hooks, charcoal burning, brick making (build a proper hearth and oven in the wild), basketwork (lobster pots, bird traps), no end of ideas.

The book is easy to find in France, and besides the full volume, there are individual sections available.



Keith.
