Keep at it Mat,im new to making nets myself.I got my gear from jbs Nets £23.00 inc postage and you get about 15 nets worth of twine,needle,draw cord,rings plus a DVD,the only thing is the chap on the video is left handed so its a little confusing,but the big fishes video link is much easier to follow.
Dont give up it took me about a week to master it and i still muck up
Good luck Seany
P.s Put a plaster on ye little finger
