That's a cracking thread TC,never seen that before At what stage do you flatline them...theres more hole than net on some of them
Those were off cuts of nets that I used to demonstrate how to mend them with. That said I do have some nets here that are getting on for 30 years old, look more like a patchwork quilts than nets but they still work.
