The one 8,600 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I bought pile of stuff from a guy packing in as I wanted the spools of nylon and there's a few nets in the box . There good enough nets that the guys knitted himself but the way he's threaded the draw cord has me baffled . There threaded up as normal till six inches past the net them one side is knotted to the other side and only one draw cord goes to the peg ? Does anybody else thread them like this ? I would of thought it would of been just as easy to take both ends of the draw cod to the peg as normal ? Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Saving on drawcord maybe? If you had 60 in your bag, they would be lighter too as you would have saved around 60ft of cord. I cant say Ive seen one tied up that way though. Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,829 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 He maybe thinks it is easier tying one bit of drawcord to the peg, thats if i am seeing it right. Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,850 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yep my mate does that ,,,,,the only reason he does it ,,,,,is as you say to save on cord,,, he's the tightest fecker I know,, and I mean that honestly 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,600 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Aye there descent enough nets but thats no for me i like them tied on to the bottom ring and a good lenght of drawcord in case you need to move about to peg them in the ground and two ends put threw the peg and knotted then melt the ends so the knot cant become undone . i will fix them over the summer another job to add to the list LOL but i wanted the spun and the raylon in the ebay lot the folding shovel will just be a bonus Quote Link to post
gnipper 7,004 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 How come you tie the cord to the bottom ring? Quote Link to post
The one 8,600 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Because i reckon if i set the peg as far away from the burrow that the drawcords taught when a rabbit hits the net and it starts moving the net its already pursing 1 Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 feck me, was he saving on peg material too 2 Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,829 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Aye bit crude them pegs, you would have sore hands pushing them in all day. Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Aye bit crude them pegs, you would have sore hands pushing them in all day. Yeah I reckon. On the upside, you would`nt have to push them in that far I will use the thicker shanks, if Ive nothing else, but I`ll split them length ways and get two pegs out of a thick bit. Quote Link to post
The one 8,600 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 For sale 64 bits of kindling for anyone with a coal fire then LOL 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,600 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Finally got the nets sorted out there not bad but only 14 meshes wide. so I will be looking for swapping them for something, Got all the crappy pegs of them but he had saved the best seasoned hardwood pegs for the crapiest nylon nets which I binned.

TOMO 29,850 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 You want to bin all them pretty coloured bits of string hanging up,,,,they look nice,,,but work better if they were 10z nylon............... Quote Link to post
