Net mending is becoming a lost art. My father used to not only mend net, but also buy twine or monofilament to create whole nets. He made 3 cast nets, one from cotton twine in the early 1950s, one from Nylon twine in the late 1950s, and a monofilament net in the late 1960s. I think it took him a year's worth of weekends to complete each. He also made a 6' x 100' gillnet from monofilament too. That net we used in stream in our backyard for grey mullet, and milkfish. After that he bought bulk mono netting from Japan, and strung the floats, and lead himself. My job was casting the weights for the lead line. This was 50 years ago. He made crab hoop nets too, and he taught me how to mend nets. Gillnetting was made illegal here in Hawaii 25 years ago, so I had to get rid of them, and haven't mended a net since.

Thanks for sharing this video, where would I get the needles and mesh from?

Enjoyed that video buddy easy when u know how never to old to learn hope the 2 young fellas are doing well lol thanks again

Thanks for that mate

That was a good lesson on how to do it. I probably will never need to do it but it was good watching you. You could do that in your sleep. I surpose if they get a hole in a net they just throw them away like everything else these days. Time you can get out and do stuff again your gear will be in tio rop condition.
