Looking for tutorial on Making a net with a net needle and gauge

[Retired Member southey]

Hi Chaps, I would like to learn to make a net, I have made the needle,

And am just knocking up a gauge, but having a little issue finding a tutorial on the process of the net, that I find easy to follow, Wondered if you guys had any links to some good ones stored,

I will of course continue to look,

Many thanks for any help

Southey,

Southey,
There are a few good ones on Youtube which should provide most of what you'll want to know, the rest is practise.
The most complicated thing I found was learning how to move the gauge in your left hand - which makes the whole thing appear effortless.

If you are going to the Moot, I'll be doing a workshop or two.

PS, there are variations on the Sheet Bend basic knot for natural or man-made cords and you'll need to make your gauge wider than your needle - scrabbling for nuggets of info that might help you on your way!

Was lucky enough to get set the net making challenge by Kepis and get a personal tutorial. It's very addictive.

Would second this site.(No links at all) Lots of different clips on the web site. Great way of starting with 2" ring and very nice way of finishing onto the last ring.

EDIT:- ^ If it's purse nets you're after that is.

March/April 2014 Bushcraft & Survival Mag has a good article on making a purse net.
