  2. Hello forumites A friend is upgrading some larder items and is looking for gambrels and s- hooks. Seem heavily price for what they are in the places he's looked so far so I was wondering who or where supplies the best value for money gambrels at present and what is the handiest size for Roe deer?

  3.

  4. Just got mine off of E-Bay £100 posted. Not sure about variable though. Do you mean it has a dimmer switch??? I don't think they come with dimmers, I am not certain, but I think you buy that as an after market add on. Yes, they do come with a factory fitted power dimmer top of the handle, great for following a fox on the edge of the beam when turned right down so you don't spook the arse out them with full beam hitting them in the dish.

  8. Thats the buisness tiercel, very handy demonstration there, experienced hands at work there thanks gotta say, you must have done a bit of boxing with hands as fast as that Wish I had the dexterity to knit with speed, however, in my case, taking my time helps me get it right. Thanks again
  9. Thanks very much for the reply, link and pics above tiercel that is a stonker of a killing net you have there, might have a bash at a double strander once i get the first 25yarder under my belt..probably take me a year to knit.. Also good to know the spun poly is good enough for the selvedge, didn't think about weight, good point there I'll had a look at the agouti website for my twine from there, was on the "engel-netz.de" (sp?) but unless you know exactly what your after I was a bit baffled by all the choices and it's a long way to send it all back too.. 14 meshes will do for
  10. I've been making purse nets for a while and would like to know the answer to a few questions for starting my first longnetif anyone can help? 1) I' ve got bog standard 4 ply spun poly, is this ok to knit a net from? 2) should i just double it up for adding the selvedge? or go for a heavier ply? a few pointers for the correct material would be grand 3)If i wanted it 16 meshes deep (without the added selvedge)do i just start on a split ring and tie in the 16 (half meshes) in the row and keep going til i get the to the length i want it? im goin to make it 25 yards si will need 5

  15. Common Sense + Best Practice = You Decide, as your the one getting assessed then surely the Q&A's before the stalk will cover shot placement and agree'd upon at that time? No?
