Giro 2,648 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Stick a few pics up of your nets then lads.. I have never made a net. I have bought some good ones over the years and some terrible ones Got some nicely made ones of ebay but the material I never liked.. Its like wool a old lady would knit jumpers with Quote Link to post
pmatty77 26 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I would be very interested to see somebody make a net in 45 minutes,am not doubting them but i would like to see the start,a few rows in the middle and end of the net to see how i am doing it different,now i know somebody just cant wait to get onto you tube and show me, I think weighing everything up,get some supplies and do your own,then even if you are a complete idiot (to me diy means, don't involve yourself),then you can call yourself a craftsman!!

jamesmc 582 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 LESS THAN 45 MINS AS THIS NET IS SHAPED...AND A SIZE 9 MUCKBOOT TO COMPARE SIZE... ,KNITTING NETS IS BY NO MEANS A RACE,IF YOU DO NOT ENJOY KNITTING NETS,THEN IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO BUY THEM FROM SOMEBODY WHO DOES.....NOT WORTH THE HASSLE IF YOU AINT INTO IT.... 3 Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 So that's what you do, when your not taking fuzzy pictures Looks a decent net.. I have seen them nets made from Sheet netting.. (used them once on a invite) They seem decent enough - don't know how they hold up over the years.. Quote Link to post
