[@twicebittenthasme5545]

Great vid. Informative and lively enough to banish boring. I use a similar style net for getting bait fish when I fish. Smaller mesh, and weights are added to aid in the dispersing of the net. It takes a full day to make one large enough to be fruitful with smaller (read: lots more) mesh but the process is identical. I need to replace mine and this was a great refresher. Thanks for sharing...

My uncle used nets for catfish in the Mississippi River and used tangled nylon he got for free at the factory where they made the cordage. sometimes the spools were loose and it was not cost effective to salvage the nylon thread so he would get a large boxful and spent days making nets. and untangling cordage. in 1970 he showed me how to use the needle and make the net knot. It sure used up a lot of thread. I used a card that was 3" so it was only good to catch large fish. My net was eight feet long when I ran out of cordage and hung on the wall as display for years and never was put in the water. pack-rat that I am, it may still be out in the shed someplace...

[@KnottingKnots]

Hey Johnny, Ok I see how you expand your net size... I am interested in working in the other direction therefore reducing the net size and am trying to wrap my head around this action. Am rebuilding a wooden trout/landing fishing net and have an exact number of mesh loops to start out with (along the wooden ring) and ending the overall net taper (cone) down to somewhat of a point. Can you explain or show a process to do so ie: a reduction or subtraction of a loop... 🤔

Is there any way to lock the size of the loops after putting them on the net card? It seems the moment I move my loops off the card they either double in size, or are absorbed by the loops to either side.

Is this for fishing or for catching animals and bait

Really depends on what you want it for and also the size of the mesh. You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: kzbin.info/aero/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA I do hope that you find some of these of interest.

@@johnryder6853 That is easy then 😉 😉 😉 On this page: igkt-solent.co.uk/net-making-knots-close-up/ you will see a table with UK links to supplies. When it comes to netting needles, I think the link is for a set of them. I am sure that if you do not want a set there will be suppliers that sell them individually. Just remember that the bigger the needle, the larger the card you will need to tie each loop of the net. When it comes to a netting card, your credit card will do to start with. I find that the best line to start with is a natural jute garden twine. It just holds a knot better and is easier to practice with. If you do enjoy net making, then you can also make your own netting needles and cards 😉 😉 😉

Hello what knot did you use to secure the cordage to the ring in the beginning?

[@KnottingKnots]

There is no special knot, just use your favourite securing knot. Tie it off and then play with it, just to check that it works fine. Sometimes in slippery cord, a dab of glue helps, or melt the knot with a lighter.

Starting off with fewer loops makes the net conical, which could get a single fish tangled up in the pointed end. I think this net would be the type that you though out in the shallows with weights on the outside and a drawstring at the round end

[@taffpatch1]

Nope , wrong its for catching rabbits in, after they've been bolted by a ferret xx

[@riclulua5813]

You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: kzbin.info/aero/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA I do hope that you find some of these of interest.

[@RoalfW]

the point in increasing the number of loops is that the net becomes wider in th centre so when you catch a bunny it pulls round them with the draw string like a purse, hence the name . a purse net without the shaping is just a net.

[@KnottingKnots]

I was informed that by increasing the size and then decreasing saved on the amount of cordage required. I believe that the cordage saving method is the West Country way. The ring at each end still makes it a purse net. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@1958johndeere620]

I notice you are doing a extra knot every loop compared to another video when you only do one knot on each loop. Which is correct?

[@fishfinder3061]

I do it as in the video. Les chance of it ever slipping

[@buzz4175]

Great vid, thank you, just as a matter of interest, how much cordage did you use ?

[@KnottingKnots]

I buy it by the spool and have found that you get about three, maybe four purse nets out of a spool. You may also be interested in this blog post I did on net making, which covers different nets and knots: igkt-solent.co.uk/net-making-beginners/

@@KnottingKnots thank you

[@johnkellyjones1877]

Don't use nylon string unless you love chaos

[@KnottingKnots]

Totally agree with you on that................. I find that natural cordage works the best if you are just starting out. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@unclerojelio6320]

Is there a section in the instruction booklet about net repair?

[@KnottingKnots]

You know, I was also thinking about this, I will have a look at the book and get back to you. There was a stage where I did something wrong and had to cut the section. I then thought about how to repair it and the end result was I started again.

[@KnottingKnots]

Just looked at the book and there is nothing on repairing nets. I think I might just break my net and then see how hard it is to repair. I guess the critical thing is to have a mesh board that matches the size of the net that you are repairing. The next thing would be to start at a good area and then work along and then down etc over the broken area. Mmmm just guessing though.

[@tarmacdemon]

That could make another video net repaired good suggestion 👍

[@patchingmagic]

old net makers used a piece of wood like a ruler as a template, much smoother.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, but to be honest, anything that is smooth and the right size will do the job. You an old sailor?

[@kennethstensrud669]

Good video. How about making a shopping bag in netting? Like those I remember from my childhood.

[@KnottingKnots]

I suppose yes, that could easily be done. Considering the purse net is almost a bag anyway. I will have to look into how I would go about designing the handles? Just out of curiosity are you a knotter, decorative or practical?

[@kennethstensrud669]

I could say that I'm a handicrafter in many ways. I have just mastered the knotting technique, and are planning for making nets useful for several purposes. I think that large rings would be useful as handles, and ofcourse several more loops to start with. And that the net might be 'shorter' so to speak. May I ask where you live?, I go to London from time to time.

[@KnottingKnots]

I live on the south coast, what are are you in? You may also be interested in this technique: goo.gl/yekMHH if you click on the left or right arrow you will see more of the technique.

[@mcheng102]

The last technique you used, would it be called a widener? Can it be use like cast net widener? Thanks

[@KnottingKnots]

Are you able to give me a time stamp of where on the video, as I am not quite sure what you mean?

[@mcheng102]

Johnny Debt starting from 24:00-24:37.

[@KnottingKnots]

When you say a widener, do you mean the adding of an additional loop to the end of each row?

[@KnottingKnots]

Not sure if it is relevant but the technique of making a round net may help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2W3ap2rdrp2oK8

[@mcheng102]

Thanks. I got it at 19:00 on that video. It seem like a widener. I guess the method you used was much more easier from the one i seen before. By the way, you should try making a whole cast net recorded on video and post. You will have tons of fun. lol Create the whole cast net, from the lead line all the way to the horn and handline.

[@HrafnNordhri]

I've seen netted shopping bags. Could this technique be used to make one?

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, most definitely. I would suggest that you make a purse net like in the video, then once you get the hang of that design your bag. One suggestion may be to start off with a ring like in the purse net, except you continue all the way around. Once you have completed a full circle continue around in a spiral till you reach the maximum diameter. This would give you a round bag. Or create a flat mesh net and then fold and mesh the sides together to make a flat syle bag. Just instant thoughts on this.

[@nssdesigns]

Where is the best place to buy tools for rope makid like a Swedish did and that plastic gizmo for fish net tying and constructor knots. I'm coming to the UK in 2 weeks... could bring them back with me.

[@KnottingKnots]

This is the company that would be able to supply netting needles and boards etc. www.fourteenacre.co.uk/ With regards to the Swedish Fid, I personally got mine from here: amzn.to/2j4kFGz Other tools such as Fids and Marlin Spikes are not so readily available and would need to be sourced from people who make them.

To be honest the number of subs doesn't really interest me! You would have thought that with 2400 subs, my videos would be watched about 2000 times over the first week? Yet I think that I only hit the 500+ after a couple of weeks. My main interest is the views of all my vids over a 28-day period, if that graph goes up, then I am happy. It is really nice though when regulars such as you and Knife Monkey pop over and leave a comment.

[@rubygray7749]

I gave you a thumbs up for being English, and for making what is an easy to follow tutorial as you said ... but OHHH, the waffling! Sometimes you repeated the same redundant phrase in a single sentence, 5 times! You seem to have been watching far too much american TV. They never use a simple statement where a thousand unnecessary words can be inserted. Viz. a terminally verbose american would say : "Now then what I want to say is, is that what you're going to want to go on ahead and do is, is you're going to want to go on ahead and put your needle right up through the back of that loop right there, is what you're going to want to go on ahead and do." This Aussie would say, "Put needle through back of loop." Please force yourself to watch this lengthy video through from beginning to end, twice, as I did, and consider this term : "Cutting-room floor".

[@KnottingKnots]

Cheers Ruby, I hear what you are saying. Thanks for the thumbs up for being English, as I would hate to be Russian just now (Salisbury?). Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?

[@rubygray7749]

More your "aspiring" knotter at this stage! I am awaiting an assortment of needles, and have made a wire needle to practice with in the meantime. Getting supplies of netting twine in Australia is problematic. But I'm wanting to make netting for shopping bags, haynets, hammock maybe. I bought ferret nets for my son when he was small, and often wanted to know how they were made, so thanks! And the idea of using them for hanging stuff up off the floor is clever. Storage solution nets. I need lots of those!

[@KnottingKnots]

Australia, Australia we love you! I lived in Penrith for 3 years in the 70's. It would seem that the UK is the only place where netting supplies are readily available. I think that is because we have a great number of people still hunting in the traditional way. The purse net certainly makes a good sort of hammock type bag. I do plan shortly to do a tutorial on making a round net. I do also have a video on making a fishing net, which only uses the single knot as opposed the the double in the video above. Here is the fishing net: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZe3iJqDidZ6p7s

I believe in "catch and release" ... if he can't do dishes and, occasionally, cook. On the other hand, at my age, I can't afford to be too choosy. So, mark me down as "practical." I won't tie the knot if I have to believe that he will change.
