Thank you very much for your excellent video. I just finished my second net. The first was a single color and 15 rows. It made a lot of bubbles and my grandson loved it. My second one was 27 rows in red, white and blue. I am looking forward to trying it out. Thanks again, Happy Bubbling!!!
I have owned and used a Glowby Garland for about a year now, and have come to love it. I finally took a moment to study the craftsmanship of its manufacture and was blown away by the quality. Now that I've watched this video, I can see the care and genius he puts into his work. The one I bought is made in a different, more advanced style though, and I'm still mystified. No way I can figure out how he does it.
When you make your net, the knots can indeed slip if you force them. I soak & wash my new nets in a strong solution of soda ash (a.k.a. washing soda, sodium carbonate; 1 tbsp/2 c) and Dawn. The material swells and helps secure the knots. If the knots slip, slip them back and tighten again.
Was wondering if u could show instruction on ur leader finishes, n how to make them. In this video, u showed three types. The ribbon one looks braided it seems, howd u do so? Im going to begin my first fishing net, n would like a secure leader finisher that wont come undone n unravel my work. Any suggestions from ur experiences would b great. Tu.
Buenos días. Gracias por compartir. Tendrás otro video. Para mirar mejor como tú doblas para cerrar una terminación de la red. Para que quede cuadrada. De antemano muchas gracias. Mail. rdiaz7462@hotmail.com
#18 copper wire in the center, then treated diamond braid cotton cord, then #8 crochet cotton. They are strung together with Dacron fishing line. Its leaders are of polyester paracord with nickel-plated zinc attachment rings.
hello magic grandpa) your video is wonderful! Thank you very much! It is so amazing to have someone teaching to make stuffs of fun and hapiness. I had a question which diameter have your ropes?
Thanks for sharing this detail. It is more work than I think I will put in. But I did like your explanation of the poles. I have an issue though, the pole ends turned white. where it was getting wet from juice. I used Rustoleum Advanced which said UV resistant and for outdoor. Maybe it was not fully cured? Or is that why you Spar cover it as well as enamel? Is the enamel necessary if it will get white when wet? It was just that it took some time to get the hockey tape on and now it looks bad. I rubbed off allot of the white which I assume was a coat of the clear coat but not sure I can restore it. But more so, I want to prevent this from happening again.
The catch is that you have to put a couple coats of sanding sealer on the tape before using the enamel (sanding optional). If you don't, the adhesive in the tape dissolves a bit and bleeds into the enamel when it's painted. I put spar on the enamel for extra durability. I usually use an oil-based spar. I like the water based stuff better but it takes 5 coats instead of just 2.
It's a triangular net. If you attach 2 of its corners to 2 poles, dip it in bubble solution, and hold it up in the wind, it produces a cloud of bubble foam.
That depends on the size of the mesh. I usually knit until I reach some target weight, usually 50 grams. With a 2.5" mesh, I think you'd reach 8 ft (not including leaders) after about 42 rows.
Lo siento. No puedo aconsejarte bien. Solo he hecho redes triangulares. Creo que hay algunas pistas asqi: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qEGjwjrfzGE.html
Sorry so late to reply. I suppose that might work. I haven't tried it. I think it would be very difficult. Another way I've discovered is to pull very tight and stretch the material as much as possible, when making the stitches near the ends.
Sorry so late to reply. I believe there are some already out there on the web. They are where I learned the basics for making my net. Check this out... www.ecosnippets.com/prepping/how-to-make-fishing-nets-video/
