How To Make Your Own Fishing Net 

Dale, congratulations! You were the only one among many who taught the relationship between the sizing card and the mesh size. In addition, you showed the manufacturing closely, which allowed to see properly. The colors of the rope and the sizing card are not a problem at all to see the weaving, contrary to what some have said. Good job!

This is the way my Dad showed me to tie a net. I haven't done it since I was a kid and I'm in my 60s and disabled. This looks like something constructive with which to pass my time. I didn't learn the pattern to make a cast net. It is something I can make for the kids to use. I'll then show them how to make one which they, in turn, can gift to their friends. You are, by-the-way, a very good instructor.

My great grandmother used to work at the fishing port in my village making and repairing nets and this is the way they made their wider nets here in Catalonia too. However the finer ones were made differently.

I was trying to figure out how to make fishnet for fashion, turns out this actually works

I am a knitter and I find if you have thick knitting needles you can make a net. Also with peg knitting you can get some thick logs in the ground and e wrap the logs twice then with a hook pull the loops over the logs. Your have to watch loop knitting on how to cast off. I am learning to loop knit my first blanket and will be learning to cast off when I am done. Knitting when stretched out looks like a knife and it seems knitting a net or making a peg knitting loom would be easier then making all those nots

Fuck it. I'll just hunt bears.

This is how I learned many years ago. Glad I remembered how!

You may find that if you are using synthetic string that you may need to use a double sheet bend. Instead of pulling the string tight after going around the loop, pass the netting needle through the loop and then tighten off. That should make your synthetic cordage's knots more sturdy.

this is the only video i can find that shows how to make a square net. not square mesh, i mean the whole net being a square with parallel meshes like a tennis court net etc. I wanted some netting like this to accent a wood working project but all i could find was instructions on diagonal hanging diamond mesh. Thank you.,

Thank you. It is wonderful to see the old skills being taught again to the next generation. I would like to practice again.

Thank you for posting terrific videos. We have used a few in our homeschool and are so delighted with each of the videos you have posted! Thank you!

Skvělé video je je škoda, že takové množství provázků nikde v přírodě neroste. Tohle už vyžaduje dělbu práce.

dad always hangs his above his shoulders, said it makes it easier to get the knots tighter

Search for "Ray Mears making a needle for net-making"

im litterally watching this bc of a book i read that linked this vid 😭

You need a smaller netting needle. And an area clear of debris to work.

You are Best

Well explained but theres no contrast between card and rope so i cant see whats happening.

can i request how to make stone tools,and then snares? then i will subscribe ps i was hoping if possible use materials that you get from the forest or what ever

simple design, make sure it's smaller than the index card. knife and wood.

a small sharp knife and a piece of wood and you can whittle one, look up some whittling guides.

Looks Good. Good tips. Thank You.

the way you knot it is different then most that ive seen..usually they throw it over their hand go behind the loop then through the loop abd tighten it down.....wondering if it really matters. does one hold up longer then the other?

This video very nice ,👌🏻

Hi Dale, Thank you for the instructive video. Your teaching is clear and precice. I made a netting needle and a sizing board with scrap wood and followed your instructioins and made a 4 foot sqaure net. I want to make a net which is 2 or 3 times as long as it is wide. What do I need to do differently? I checked out your web site. Sorry I can't come to take a course with you.

Interesting movie, BUT you need to take in consideration the light better. When starting to add the thread to your needle, you can hardly see how due to sun reflecting in the needle-wood.

@ Charlissa do a youtube search for Johnnyrambo showing how to tie a net. Dave Cantebury also has a video showing how to tie a net without a needle. So does Ray mears. All 3 of those guys use the same procedure.

I haven't tried to follow these instructions yet myself, so maybe this is a non-issue, but as I am watching it, I am finding it very difficult to keep track of how much of which strand of cord is on the sizing card at any given moment because both the cord and the card are white. If you were to record this again (no small effort!) it would be great if the cord were white and the card black or vice versa! Just a thought. Thanks!

Good and easy instructions. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video

Ray mears has done one, just search for "needle and gauge" ray mears.

You really should have used contrasting colors so we could see it.

did you make the sizing card or did you buy it?

Okay... So... Let's say that you don't have all that because they're out in the wild and they can't find a Walmart :)

Our techniques are quite a bit different, I tie a sheetbend with a simple method called the flying dutchman and show you how to make a needle from wire. You may want to take a look. All the best. -Gene

He’s just showing a process. Why is everyone so negative, examples are never the real thing. If you knew a little about other crafts i can see the actual motion of the needle is a blanket stitch, which you do to lock stitches around the edge of the material but in this case to the previous square. The netting needle holds the line to push it through, granted there could be different methods. But there seems to be more along th4ese lines. I originally was wondering about the tool as a post I’m on someone is inquiring. I dislike negativity. Go make your own video then?

por favor me enseÑAS COMO CERRAR UN CUADRO EN ESA TECNICA, SIEMPRE ME QUEDA UN TRIANGULO YA LLEVO COMO DOS METROS Y NADA QUE CIERRA GRACIAS

انت لعين

Bye one for ebay 3 euro. Great video

overall that is very cool

Which type of tread do you use for net making? Please describe

Dale, Great Video! How would I construct a net to replace the net used inside my landing net? It needs to have loops to attach it to the metal ring the net hangs from, plus it has to have enough size to hang down in the center like a landing net should. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for all your GREAT work! Ed

PASO A PASO GRACIAS

I can't see what you are doing because the string and the needle have the same color...

Your card is the same color as the string. So I can't tell what you are doing? Over the card or under. Also, I can't see through your hand. Once again I can't see what you are doing?

I Wonder If I Can Make An Itachi Net Shirt I Am Trying to think right now

que me perdi , en que paso la cambio para hacer el cudro

great video... I want to try sometime but it seems a little bit difficult since I couldn´t see the string very well

this doesn't hold sturdy enough. The net can somewhat unravel.

I need a Fishing Net Needle l think this is a very good past time for me l am home bound Disable woman l would like to make a Hammack there’s a lot of trees in our back yard to hang it and injoy the relaxing feeling of a hammack so please help me find a fishing Net Needle .

hi

it's about $1.75 to $1.80 per British pound

Looks SO similar to nalbinding

Would this work with thick rope (40mm is max but 20mm is more likely). I will be making a net for parrots to play with and have no idea how to make it.

The music is so darn annoying and I can't see zilch, white on white.

he made it for fishing purposes...i'm going to make it for crafting purposes D:

Why do you need a needle???... Cant you just make it without it???

you can just make a fishing net from a old or new larg T-shirt and some sticks

Hi there , i need your advice for the best possible twine to use when making a net that will last me a very long time , i plan to make my self a keeper net = its what you place fish in while your fishing with the intent to release back into the water at the end of the day , also i will be making a very large landing net , it will also be used to scoop up anything up to a 25 kilo fish , there is so called twine made in India and China , some of the stuff is called polypropylene , some polyethylene and some simply nylon , i will not be looking at monofilament because it is basically fishing line and i know it has a small lifespan , any advice will be at the very least a start because i know nothing about netting materials etc , thank you for your time and your answer

you do know theres a way better way to make a net and its way easier and you can make it in the wild without the net needle??

Nice! Catch something with it then ill be really impressed..

Is there a way to contact this person? I would like a little more information.

Unless you want to go hungry,you're gonna have to make a bigger net.The holes in the net are too big to catch small fish and the net's too small for big fish.

just draw it on a thin piece of wood and cut it out

is there a video on how to make a netting needle?

nope pounds are i think a little bit more than dollars

Do I need netting needle or can it be done without?

isnt 5 pounds 5 dollors in the us

it is difficult to do the net fishing

I can not understand

second.

Ray Mears has one!

I came here by mistake. I already know how to do this. I was trying to find how you make the fishnets you wear

By the time I made this I'd have died of hunger. I'll just go down the chippy.

how the fuck are you suppose to remember this

i need to make it round for cast net, can somebody show me how

This Knot slips, not good. Why they keep the idea of teaching things to people that don't work

that old Spice commercial. .. ......how the f**k?!

I'll follow Bear Grills example, use your bare hands

Where do you get the tool

fuk just bring a net with you on trips, shouldn't be heavy.
