I'm 75 years old and this brought back memories from childhood. it was always the little ones job to load the needles.pop used to buy pre made nets ,the needles were used to sew the net to the larger cords that held the corks on one cord and the lead on the other heavy cord and this creates the gill nets. we also made our lead weights. Thanks for the trip back to my island home.
I really do love the fact that many knots or knotting projects, bring back fond memories! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you so much. Unfortunally my father passed away before pass it on this native family tradition for me, he was the last of a kind. Fortunaly TH-cam have people like you!!! I'll make my first net now.
I'm hear for that exact same reason, I inherited my dads house and for year and years when painting round the door frame in the kitchen I was reminded of him netting with his needle and mesh board by a single screw in the top of the door frame
So sorry about your loss. My mom and Dad passed in 2011. I remember he would weave turtle baskets. It’s so bad they have to leave us but that’s just the way it is. Hope they are in a better place. If I get this down I’m going to teach my grandsons so maybe they can keep it going and not let it die out like so many other things. Good luck netting.
Never take em for granted. Don't be like me. Ask the questions now learn about your bloodline! Learn it and carry it on! That's the one thing I regret in life is not asking my grandparents those questions and not spending enough time with them. Cherish every eternal moment because it's the only real time we have, the moments.
When I was a kid a LONG time ago, an old Finnish fisherman showed me how to make nets - we made a badminton net for my mom. Then when I went to a military survival school I made a crude net and was surprised at how well it worked. Recently I started putting together a survival kit for backcountry flying, and the survival nets commercially available seem like junk to me, so I decided to make my own. The first one was a disaster. The second one was much better, but a few meshes are wonky. Hopefully the third time will be a charm. It's been fun learning. Your how-to videos were the best I could find, thank you for posting them.
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action! You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest. I assume that "backcountry flying" is flying into/over remote locations in big countries?
Thank you very much for showing this. I am Fisherman and learned it, but you actually explain it better than my teachers did.^^ One step i would like to mention. If you fill the needle with yarn, do not rotate it in 360°. Rotate it 180° and than back. Othrwise it will create loops to the yarn and meshes.
That looks like finnish style needle aka verkkokäpy (cone). There is also norwegian one too. Maybe easier to fill. Making hand net for white fish. th-cam.com/video/5oBM-yw6gGE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for renewing my memories of net making with my Dad. I am 69 years old now and have wanted to remember how to do this. Dad was a Captain on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, Virginia and became a Master Pilot Tugboat Captain for Humble Oil. Wow, that goes back a bit doesn't it? He stayed with the company through all the changes and retired from Exxon years back. We made hammocks, nets for fishing when that was still allowed and had great times together. Bless you. I am starting to do netting again.
I find that most projects that I do are filled with wonderful memories. When I look at an item, I still feel the warmth of the sun and I can hear my dog snoring 😉 😉 😉 You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
well done video it brings back the days of my youth when i work on a 30 ft lobster boat off the new jersey coast usa . we lifted lobster pots on a string of 25 each. the boat captain knew where all the wrecks are. many ships where torpedoed off the coast of new jersey and delaware bay. we caught sea bass ling, tog, and a few lobster.... that was a great part of my youth . I am now 71 years old and wish i could go back in time..... thanks to your post i did..... thanks dennis from sea isle city,
Being ex Royal Navy, I always considered being a fisherman too hard. Not the work, but the damn seasickness. I just love knots, every project I do puts memories into the work. When I look at some now, I feel the heat of the sun and my dog next to me snoring.
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen! Not just for netting but every step was clear and it was easy to see what you were doing. Thanks so much for this!!

Thanks! My grandfather used to make fishing nets. When I was about 5, recall seeing the netting needle and mesh guage. I know he'd be proud of me for taking up on making fish nets.
Knotting projects are often packed full of memories! I look at some of my older work and can feel the sun on my back and the sounds of my dog sleeping next to me. You may also want to take a look at making Purse Nets, as they make great storage hammocks, also make lovely gifts for friends. Purse Net: th-cam.com/video/TcsYhpMNKvQ/w-d-xo.html
I experimented making bio-degradable net for our garden, using jute twine, watching this clip. It was one of the most satisfying and therapeutic things I've done so thank you very much!
This is awesome, I remember being 4 years old and my grandfather teaching me this. And by the time age 9 I made 8 feet deep by 12 feet wide, used it for hunting, I caught 3 ptarmigans. And seen my grandfather teaching me so many things was awesome days. This is an awesome moment when you learn something that can catch good food for you and family to enjoy. It’s free to learn its feed food from nature that we get from nature of learning from our parents/grandparents.

What I really love about net making is that they are packed full of memories 😉 😉 😉 When you make yours, you will remember lots of wonderful personal things.
my father and grandfather were commercial fisherman from long island new york and as a very small child my grandfather taught me how to repair the ripped areas of the net. your video made me remember the knotting process which i had long forgotten! thank you for such a great teaching video! i think i might start making some nets now as well!
As you tie you knots, you will remember days long past and also create your own memories of what was happening when you were creating something. One of my Ditty Bags that I made, reminds me of Blake my choccy Labrador: igkt-solent.co.uk/making-leather-ditty-bag/
Well done !! So well demonstrated! Thank you for sharing your gift sir. Dad left me his wooden netting needle and I’ll finally be able to learn netting that he tried to teach us kids 60 years ago!
Every time you use that netting needle, you will be not only making a net, but creating new memories! Also as you create the net, your mind will wonder back to when it was last used. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
That netting needle’s proper name is a “Fid” or fisherman’s fid. My father was a commercial fisherman who fished the Grand Banks and George’s Banks back in the 1940’s & 50’s. I was a kid back then when he showed me how to make & repair a net. He was so adept at it that he would only use his fingers as a gauge for his left hand with the fid in his right. Great video. Brings back old memories.

As a child my family used to visit other family in Maine for two weeks every year. My uncle was a lobster fisherman and I spent many days at the piers and on the boat. I always saw others repairing or making their nets, but never got curious enough to know how since I live in upstate NY, and never had the need for a net. Watching this takes me back to those younger years. I am now disabled from Diabetes and wheel chair bound, and looking for a hobby to help fill my time. I am going to give this a try, although I don't know what I will do with the netting I create. My mother used to have a net embellished with sea shells we collected and lobster balls hanging in our home for many, many years. Thank you for this tutorial.
Well thank you for telling me that!! I just love the way that knots can bring back memories or create memories. One thing that I do love about net making, is that it is relatively cheap to do. I personally use nets as hammocks to keep things stowed.

What a great Saturday morning! Let the dogs out and then settled to watch your video, this time with the needle and card. I am thrilled to bits and so grateful that you are understandable. I'm in Canada but all my cousins are over there with the salt water and fresh fish and learning this makes me feel closer to them and also to those who have passed on but knew how to make nets. What a victory!
I just love knots and the memories that they create............. sometimes I look at something that I did long ago and remember the warmth of the sun as I made that object. Many people also tell me how it brings back memories of a long lost relative who would make nets. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Just go out an buy the gear, and start making your own nets. As you make them, you will be transported back to those days! Thanks for taking the time to make a comment.
You make it look so easy .....I keep getting twisted tangled frustrated but I haven't given up Yet . I'm determined to make a net . On wards and up wards .
I wonder if you have seen these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html perhaps this may solve a couple of issues you are having?
wonderful “How to video.” thank you for your In-Depth instructions on making a simple net. I think all kids should learn this method especially with the times we live in, I’m not a prepper but one never knows what tomorrow holds. God Bless, do be safe. Again, Thank you.

Thank you so much. I watched another fellow's video and I could tell that he was very good at making nets, but I just couldn't get my hands to match what his were able to do. This time, by watching your video a few times as I worked through each step, I now feel pretty good about making this net to catch a bunch invasive carp out of our pond.
I’ve crocheted a lot over the years and with your explanation, was able to see how the knots were forming, which is nice because the little board was getting in the way and I just used my fingers to measure. Once you get it, I feel that’s easier. Thanks for teaching me a new skill! 😊
So good to hear that you are net making, I bet each net is packed with memories for you and others?

really enjoy your instructions. back in my day it was always by books . i makes crab pills pots with hand made netting. i have been doing this for 40 years. you are tone best!!!
It took me ages probably because I was using fairly fine string. I gave up but then went through the video several times and using better, slightly thicker nylon cord. Easy!!!! Many thanks - I need to make a net for a display.

I’m a commercial fishermen and I’m now fishing with a huge nets. I’m trying to do some home work and get good at fixing the holes when they are trashed. A video on how to cut and prep the repair would be lovely
Johnny Debt no problem. In my industry the best net guys can’t speak English. Hard work long hours in the hot sun in Southern California. So the language barrier is real!
Hi. Until I watched your video, i had never understood a Sheetbend Knot. Now it makes since! Thank you for taking the time to show us Landlubbers how to tie a knot. I've been doing the individual lines over a single straight line and throwing square knots in them to make a cargo net. I appreciate knowing how to actually do net-making.THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for sharing. This is something that takes a lot of practice before being able to get going, but the correct knowledge is the first very important step. Maybe the best tutorial on net making on TH-cam. Best wishes.
Thank you sò very much for the clear and basic instructions. My Hawaiian/Portuguese father taught this and more to my brothers and I many, many years ago. My dad use to say "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know". At 60+ y.o. I say it to my grandkids. LOL
I love the way that knots and knotting bring back memories and also create them. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I used to watch my father and uncle tying nets at our house in Cocoa, Florida. They would attach the top of the net to one of the steel posts in our carport and they had a shuttle that looked just like the one you were working with. Their mesh was a little finer as I recall. They were making shrimp nets for casting. Of course that was a long time ago, close to sixty years back and I haven't seen it since. We moved from Florida to Alaska when I was nine, and I developed different hunting and survival skills.
I love net making, it is so therapeutic doing it. Here in the UK they catch rabbits using the shaped purse net, they also make good hammock for stowing soft toys for kids: th-cam.com/video/TcsYhpMNKvQ/w-d-xo.html

Thank God I found this tutorial 😭 I'm currently working on making my own nets out various materials as part of ongoing work for my fine art degree and this has been the clearest tutorial so far! I get confused a lot trying to watch how-to videos but this has really helped me out and given me the motivation to just get stuck in and pass the time, thank you a lot :)
Glad it helped! You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
When loading your needle, put 2 turns around the pin and it will hold without you having to pinch it with your fingers. It'll also hold when your needle is nearly empty. If you don't have a gauging board, you can just use your fingers, 3 fingers is a good mesh size, but you can use 4. If you're using your fingers for gauging you can work from right to left by putting the needle DOWN through the mesh on the left, then twisting the mesh between finger and thumb before you make your sheet bend knot. Incidentally, I thought when I was watching your video, that it would be good to show how to tie the sheet bend knot before going on to the net making part :) I hope some of this helps. All the best, J
I thought your video was very good! The way u explain and show in detail was great. Also the fact that u repeated the steps several times really helps to get it stuck into the mind! Im going to give it a try!
Yes. do give it a go. You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
I worked on my grandaddys shrimp boat from 12 to 17. He tried to teach me net making and mending. I've watched other you tubers could not learn anything you make it so simple and very good teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Not only nets but all of it. You are a nautical badass

I really like the way you demonstrate and explain how to do the netting. What would really help me out, is a clip about how to knot off at the end. By the way, I agree fully to the process - it is relaxing.

My dad was a commercial fisherman on the Mississippi & Missouri Rivers, I grew up on the river. Raising hoop nets & trammel nets since I was 5. I was the bait pilot, I raised nets and I pulled the hides off the catfish. I didn’t learn to make nets until a few years ago, dad taught me his method and he was fast. He could build a 14’ hoop net in three days hoops and all and have it ready for the tar bath. I finally decided I needed to learn how it was done, and I just about missed it. He taught me and a few months later was diagnosed with dementia. Today he doesn’t know who I am, lives in a nursing home and the rest is history. Glad I learned, I’ll be teaching my son!
Many thanks for sharing your story. I am no expert but.......... maybe just go ahead and make a small net that he can hold. It certainly is not the cure, but maybe he will enjoy the feel, and you will know that you made something just for him.

Hi, i have a fishing boat with a net that needs to be repaired before i can use it, so i will now be able to repair it thanks to your easy to follow demonstration, thanks again, karl
I love net making, I don't do anything with them when I have made them, I just love the process 😉 😉 😉 You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.

Finally someone on the internet showing how to use the needle for making net.. MAaan thank you!! I subscribed and im gonna learn whole brain out of it. I need to learn this because seals made some nasty holes on my fishnets and i need to repair them.. Maybe a little rapair destroyed net video next? I hope you dont mind if i download the video for my personal use. I promise I will not use it for any public teachings or any public display. I have been looking for video like this for over a year now. New fish net cost allot of money, and my fishnet is pretty new.. it just need some repair as the seals raided it and made an nasty riot
I really enjoyed watching your video. Now I could tell you were a bit nervous and all I kept thinking was, If I had to make a video like this I would have been studdering, messing up my words, my hands would be shaking so much also. But you did great. I plan to spend my next couple days giving this a go. My memory is poor so I know that if I just get 3-4 rows done it will stick in my head for sure. My dad taught me how to weave a pencil cover using string or yarn and a wood thread spool with a center hole and five nails. I still remember how to do it 60 plus years later. You did a great job here.

Thank you for sharing this skill, I have always wanted to learn to make nets. Your video has a great help. It looks like it would be easier once you get the first row finished.
Yes, the skill with this one is to get the first rows very even before you start to add rows. After that, you want to stop so that you can say I have made a net. As you are making the net, well for me anyway, it is a calm thing to do and I do not want to stop.

OK, I will admit that I am no fishing expert, but I find that thin line that is not too slippery and holds a good knot is best. If you take a look at this page, there is a link to the line that I used: igkt-solent.co.uk/net-making-beginners/
thank you. i've been trying to figure out the beginnings, by reading. many pictures out there just aren't clear enough. i learned more in the first 5 minutes of your video than i have for (possibly) hours trying to figure out different drawings.
Yes, sometime the drawing and written instructions leave a lot to be desired.

Even though I'm just learning, your vids are awesome. Appreciate the reps. Lookin for the rest of completing 550 cord net. I was following along & I just can't figure out how to make the next row, but I keep trying.👍 Thanx too.
I watched an Inuk elder show my Inuk wildlife students. He is fast and speaks no english but made it the same way now i see...i can show the students this video in class. Thanks!!

Excellent way of showing netting. You did a very good job of recording. I hope I can remember all the steps. Our grandkids will have fun with this. They live near a lake. Thank you for sharing
Cool way to teach net making, its called a breading needle on trawlers. never seen it done with the little board before, cute trick for beginners on the internet to learn with but would soon have gone over the rail in the middle of the night in the middle of a gale in the middle of the English channel when the nets got rumpy, not a bad idea for a novice though.
Hello Andrew, as soon as you mentioned the word trawler, I felt seasick!! I have 18 years in the RN and the longer I was in the sicker I got. Thanks for taking the time to share that information, always good to hear how things are used in real life. Are you off to fight the French today? ;-)
This is a local tradition where I live and is used in my every day life. I'm from eastern NC where commercial fishing is the largest industry. We have several net builders around here that keep us working the water. I only know how to "tie net" in small sections for repairs and such. We also have monofilament nets for gill netting
@@KnottingKnots no problem great video, keeping the millennium old tradition alive! I've been repairing a 400yd long mono gill net for the past few days and this video definitely helped me fix some big holes from scratch without patches. Kudos!
This is the best video of ever found explaining how to make fishing net, especially because you do a few rounds over and over instead of just one demonstration and then tell somebody to repeat, and I appreciate that. Some of us have to see it more than once in one video to fully get the gist if you will. Thanks so much for your hard work I will now make my first fishing net for a mermaid costume! Best of luck to you you've learned a new subscriber!

I am a crocheter and have learned to tat. The stitch you are doing is what is used in tatting only the knots are all on one thread so they can be pushed together to make tiny loops. Tatting thread is like sewing thread and uses a shuttle that is about 3 inches long. My grandmother's is metal and has a removable bobbin. BTW I was watching to learn how to make fishnet for hair nets.
Hello Alison, it will certainly work well for that!! Probably easier and cheaper to buy, but making it has a far greater satisfaction.

No, not yet. I have just done a video on the round net and that was a bit of a nightmare at the beginning. I have now added your suggestion to my to-do list.

Very nice John look forward to your programs

I had to stop watching due to how annoying your accent is.
I'm 75 years old and this brought back memories from childhood. it was always the little ones job to load the needles.pop used to buy pre made nets ,the needles were used to sew the net to the larger cords that held the corks on one cord and the lead on the other heavy cord and this creates the gill nets. we also made our lead weights. Thanks for the trip back to my island home.
I really do love the fact that many knots or knotting projects, bring back fond memories! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you so much. Unfortunally my father passed away before pass it on this native family tradition for me, he was the last of a kind. Fortunaly TH-cam have people like you!!! I'll make my first net now.
I'm hear for that exact same reason, I inherited my dads house and for year and years when painting round the door frame in the kitchen I was reminded of him netting with his needle and mesh board by a single screw in the top of the door frame
So sorry about your loss. My mom and Dad passed in 2011. I remember he would weave turtle baskets. It’s so bad they have to leave us but that’s just the way it is. Hope they are in a better place. If I get this down I’m going to teach my grandsons so maybe they can keep it going and not let it die out like so many other things. Good luck netting.
Never take em for granted. Don't be like me. Ask the questions now learn about your bloodline! Learn it and carry it on! That's the one thing I regret in life is not asking my grandparents those questions and not spending enough time with them. Cherish every eternal moment because it's the only real time we have, the moments.

Been searching for that name 😂
When I was a kid a LONG time ago, an old Finnish fisherman showed me how to make nets - we made a badminton net for my mom. Then when I went to a military survival school I made a crude net and was surprised at how well it worked. Recently I started putting together a survival kit for backcountry flying, and the survival nets commercially available seem like junk to me, so I decided to make my own. The first one was a disaster. The second one was much better, but a few meshes are wonky. Hopefully the third time will be a charm. It's been fun learning. Your how-to videos were the best I could find, thank you for posting them.
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!

I assume that "backcountry flying" is flying into/over remote locations in big countries?
@@KnottingKnots Yes, flying small planes over remote places. A survival kit is required, and a net is a required component of it.
Thank you very much for showing this. I am Fisherman and learned it, but you actually explain it better than my teachers did.^^ One step i would like to mention. If you fill the needle with yarn, do not rotate it in 360°. Rotate it 180° and than back. Othrwise it will create loops to the yarn and meshes.
Many thanks for that tip Njord, as you can tell, I am not a fisherman!! 😉 😉 😉
That could explain the twisting in my yarn ...... Thank you very much Njord
That looks like finnish style needle aka verkkokäpy (cone). There is also norwegian one too. Maybe easier to fill.

Thank you so much for renewing my memories of net making with my Dad. I am 69 years old now and have wanted to remember how to do this. Dad was a Captain on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, Virginia and became a Master Pilot Tugboat Captain for Humble Oil. Wow, that goes back a bit doesn't it? He stayed with the company through all the changes and retired from Exxon years back. We made hammocks, nets for fishing when that was still allowed and had great times together. Bless you. I am starting to do netting again.
I find that most projects that I do are filled with wonderful memories. When I look at an item, I still feel the warmth of the sun and I can hear my dog snoring 😉 😉 😉 You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
well done video it brings back the days of my youth when i work on a 30 ft lobster boat off the new jersey coast usa . we lifted lobster pots on a string of 25 each. the boat captain knew where all the wrecks are. many ships where torpedoed off the coast of new jersey and delaware bay. we caught sea bass ling, tog, and a few lobster.... that was a great part of my youth . I am now 71 years old and wish i could go back in time..... thanks to your post i did..... thanks dennis from sea isle city,
Being ex Royal Navy, I always considered being a fisherman too hard. Not the work, but the damn seasickness. I just love knots, every project I do puts memories into the work. When I look at some now, I feel the heat of the sun and my dog next to me snoring.
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen! Not just for netting but every step was clear and it was easy to see what you were doing. Thanks so much for this!!

Thanks! My grandfather used to make fishing nets. When I was about 5, recall seeing the netting needle and mesh guage. I know he'd be proud of me for taking up on making fish nets.
Knotting projects are often packed full of memories! I look at some of my older work and can feel the sun on my back and the sounds of my dog sleeping next to me. You may also want to take a look at making Purse Nets, as they make great storage hammocks, also make lovely gifts for friends. Purse Net: th-cam.com/video/TcsYhpMNKvQ/w-d-xo.html
I experimented making bio-degradable net for our garden, using jute twine, watching this clip. It was one of the most satisfying and therapeutic things I've done so thank you very much!
This is awesome, I remember being 4 years old and my grandfather teaching me this. And by the time age 9 I made 8 feet deep by 12 feet wide, used it for hunting, I caught 3 ptarmigans. And seen my grandfather teaching me so many things was awesome days. This is an awesome moment when you learn something that can catch good food for you and family to enjoy. It’s free to learn its feed food from nature that we get from nature of learning from our parents/grandparents.

my father and grandfather were commercial fisherman from long island new york and as a very small child my grandfather taught me how to repair the ripped areas of the net. your video made me remember the knotting process which i had long forgotten! thank you for such a great teaching video! i think i might start making some nets now as well!
As you tie you knots, you will remember days long past and also create your own memories of what was happening when you were creating something. One of my Ditty Bags that I made, reminds me of Blake my choccy Labrador: igkt-solent.co.uk/making-leather-ditty-bag/
Thank you!!! I was able to make a poster sized net in a morning to create a photo collage wall! It's perfect!
Well that is an interesting a novel idea................love it! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This is the easiest to understand demonstration i have seen. Thank you.
But still hard to do
Well done !! So well demonstrated! Thank you for sharing your gift sir. Dad left me his wooden netting needle and I’ll finally be able to learn netting that he tried to teach us kids 60 years ago!
Every time you use that netting needle, you will be not only making a net, but creating new memories! Also as you create the net, your mind will wonder back to when it was last used. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
That netting needle’s proper name is a “Fid” or fisherman’s fid. My father was a commercial fisherman who fished the Grand Banks and George’s Banks back in the 1940’s & 50’s. I was a kid back then when he showed me how to make & repair a net. He was so adept at it that he would only use his fingers as a gauge for his left hand with the fid in his right. Great video. Brings back old memories.
I didn't want to learn how to make nets but i couldn't stop watching and now i know. This guy is crazy good with explaining.
.....also good at replying to comments 😉 😉 😉 You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: th-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
For 55 years it baffled me how this was done let's just say I'm no longer baffled thank you for the great demonstration
As a child my family used to visit other family in Maine for two weeks every year. My uncle was a lobster fisherman and I spent many days at the piers and on the boat. I always saw others repairing or making their nets, but never got curious enough to know how since I live in upstate NY, and never had the need for a net. Watching this takes me back to those younger years. I am now disabled from Diabetes and wheel chair bound, and looking for a hobby to help fill my time. I am going to give this a try, although I don't know what I will do with the netting I create. My mother used to have a net embellished with sea shells we collected and lobster balls hanging in our home for many, many years. Thank you for this tutorial.
Well thank you for telling me that!! I just love the way that knots can bring back memories or create memories. One thing that I do love about net making, is that it is relatively cheap to do. I personally use nets as hammocks to keep things stowed.

What a great Saturday morning! Let the dogs out and then settled to watch your video, this time with the needle and card. I am thrilled to bits and so grateful that you are understandable. I'm in Canada but all my cousins are over there with the salt water and fresh fish and learning this makes me feel closer to them and also to those who have passed on but knew how to make nets. What a victory!
I just love knots and the memories that they create............. sometimes I look at something that I did long ago and remember the warmth of the sun as I made that object. Many people also tell me how it brings back memories of a long lost relative who would make nets. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I've watched a lot of videos on DIY netmaking. This is the first one that explains the process slowly and clearly enough for me to grasp. Thank you.

thank you! my great uncle showed me how to do this 50 some yrs ago. I have regretted forgetting it all.
Just go out an buy the gear, and start making your own nets. As you make them, you will be transported back to those days! Thanks for taking the time to make a comment.
You make it look so easy .....I keep getting twisted tangled frustrated but I haven't given up Yet . I'm determined to make a net . On wards and up wards .

Thank you so much. I watched another fellow's video and I could tell that he was very good at making nets, but I just couldn't get my hands to match what his were able to do. This time, by watching your video a few times as I worked through each step, I now feel pretty good about making this net to catch a bunch invasive carp out of our pond.
I’ve crocheted a lot over the years and with your explanation, was able to see how the knots were forming, which is nice because the little board was getting in the way and I just used my fingers to measure. Once you get it, I feel that’s easier. Thanks for teaching me a new skill! 😊

really enjoy your instructions. back in my day it was always by books . i makes crab pills pots with hand made netting. i have been doing this for 40 years. you are tone best!!!
It took me ages probably because I was using fairly fine string. I gave up but then went through the video several times and using better, slightly thicker nylon cord. Easy!!!! Many thanks - I need to make a net for a display.

THANKS A MILLION! This is far away the most comprehensive tutorial I ever seen on the "web".
I’m a commercial fishermen and I’m now fishing with a huge nets. I’m trying to do some home work and get good at fixing the holes when they are trashed. A video on how to cut and prep the repair would be lovely
Yes, I really must get on and do that. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Johnny Debt no problem. In my industry the best net guys can’t speak English. Hard work long hours in the hot sun in Southern California. So the language barrier is real!
Hi. Until I watched your video, i had never understood a Sheetbend Knot. Now it makes since! Thank you for taking the time to show us Landlubbers how to tie a knot. I've been doing the individual lines over a single straight line and throwing square knots in them to make a cargo net. I appreciate knowing how to actually do net-making.THANK YOU!
Did this as a kid. Nice refresher.

It was great
Thank you sò very much for the clear and basic instructions. My Hawaiian/Portuguese father taught this and more to my brothers and I many, many years ago. My dad use to say "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know". At 60+ y.o. I say it to my grandkids. LOL
I love the way that knots and knotting bring back memories and also create them. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I used to watch my father and uncle tying nets at our house in Cocoa, Florida. They would attach the top of the net to one of the steel posts in our carport and they had a shuttle that looked just like the one you were working with. Their mesh was a little finer as I recall. They were making shrimp nets for casting. Of course that was a long time ago, close to sixty years back and I haven't seen it since. We moved from Florida to Alaska when I was nine, and I developed different hunting and survival skills.
I love net making, it is so therapeutic doing it. Here in the UK they catch rabbits using the shaped purse net, they also make good hammock for stowing soft toys for kids: th-cam.com/video/TcsYhpMNKvQ/w-d-xo.html
The best way, simply, well done.

When loading your needle, put 2 turns around the pin and it will hold without you having to pinch it with your fingers. It'll also hold when your needle is nearly empty. If you don't have a gauging board, you can just use your fingers, 3 fingers is a good mesh size, but you can use 4. If you're using your fingers for gauging you can work from right to left by putting the needle DOWN through the mesh on the left, then twisting the mesh between finger and thumb before you make your sheet bend knot. Incidentally, I thought when I was watching your video, that it would be good to show how to tie the sheet bend knot before going on to the net making part :) I hope some of this helps. All the best, J

Round net is in the link that I gave you.............
I really like the way you demonstrate and explain how to do the netting. What would really help me out, is a clip about how to knot off at the end. By the way, I agree fully to the process - it is relaxing.
Usually when I finish, I just double up on the way that I did the previous knot.

Very pleasant voice, thank you for the tutorial!
@A Hera ok, thanks for the opinion ;)
My dad was a commercial fisherman on the Mississippi & Missouri Rivers, I grew up on the river. Raising hoop nets & trammel nets since I was 5. I was the bait pilot, I raised nets and I pulled the hides off the catfish. I didn’t learn to make nets until a few years ago, dad taught me his method and he was fast. He could build a 14’ hoop net in three days hoops and all and have it ready for the tar bath. I finally decided I needed to learn how it was done, and I just about missed it. He taught me and a few months later was diagnosed with dementia. Today he doesn’t know who I am, lives in a nursing home and the rest is history. Glad I learned, I’ll be teaching my son!
Many thanks for sharing your story. I am no expert but.......... maybe just go ahead and make a small net that he can hold. It certainly is not the cure, but maybe he will enjoy the feel, and you will know that you made something just for him.

Hi, i have a fishing boat with a net that needs to be repaired before i can use it, so i will now be able to repair it thanks to your easy to follow demonstration, thanks again, karl
Thanks so much! I successfully made my first net following your instructions. Very fun indeed!

Finally someone on the internet showing how to use the needle for making net.. MAaan thank you!! I subscribed and im gonna learn whole brain out of it. I need to learn this because seals made some nasty holes on my fishnets and i need to repair them.. Maybe a little rapair destroyed net video next? I hope you dont mind if i download the video for my personal use. I promise I will not use it for any public teachings or any public display. I have been looking for video like this for over a year now. New fish net cost allot of money, and my fishnet is pretty new.. it just need some repair as the seals raided it and made an nasty riot
Great skills on fish net.guides and easily to understand what he did. Thank you very much for this video on you-tube.
I really enjoyed watching your video. Now I could tell you were a bit nervous and all I kept thinking was, If I had to make a video like this I would have been studdering, messing up my words, my hands would be shaking so much also. But you did great. I plan to spend my next couple days giving this a go. My memory is poor so I know that if I just get 3-4 rows done it will stick in my head for sure. My dad taught me how to weave a pencil cover using string or yarn and a wood thread spool with a center hole and five nails. I still remember how to do it 60 plus years later. You did a great job here.

Yes, the skill with this one is to get the first rows very even before you start to add rows. After that, you want to stop so that you can say I have made a net. As you are making the net, well for me anyway, it is a calm thing to do and I do not want to stop.

I've always wondered how they get the netting even. Thank you. You are a good teacher.

Beautifully demonstrated... May I know what kind of lines are suitable for creating nets?
OK, I will admit that I am no fishing expert, but I find that thin line that is not too slippery and holds a good knot is best. If you take a look at this page, there is a link to the line that I used: igkt-solent.co.uk/net-making-beginners/
thank you. i've been trying to figure out the beginnings, by reading. many pictures out there just aren't clear enough. i learned more in the first 5 minutes of your video than i have for (possibly) hours trying to figure out different drawings.
Yes, sometime the drawing and written instructions leave a lot to be desired.

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
150 yards of nylon twine and 924 knots later I finished my gill net. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. YES, that is what I want to hear, not just watching, but actually doing!
Even though I'm just learning, your vids are awesome. Appreciate the reps. Lookin for the rest of completing 550 cord net. I was following along & I just can't figure out how to make the next row, but I keep trying.👍 Thanx too.

Excellent way of showing netting. You did a very good job of recording. I hope I can remember all the steps. Our grandkids will have fun with this. They live near a lake. Thank you for sharing
He did a great job at explaining this. If you don't have a measuring tool, your fingers work great. That's what we normally use on the boat.
Yes, when you first did it that way, did it rip your fingers to shreds?
Cool way to teach net making, its called a breading needle on trawlers. never seen it done with the little board before, cute trick for beginners on the internet to learn with but would soon have gone over the rail in the middle of the night in the middle of a gale in the middle of the English channel when the nets got rumpy, not a bad idea for a novice though.
Hello Andrew, as soon as you mentioned the word trawler, I felt seasick!! I have 18 years in the RN and the longer I was in the sicker I got. Thanks for taking the time to share that information, always good to hear how things are used in real life. Are you off to fight the French today? ;-)
How do ya'll gauge the netting and keep it all together?
This is a local tradition where I live and is used in my every day life. I'm from eastern NC where commercial fishing is the largest industry. We have several net builders around here that keep us working the water. I only know how to "tie net" in small sections for repairs and such. We also have monofilament nets for gill netting
I am sure that making a net for yourself is more fun than having to make one for commercial use. Thanks so much for sharing your netting story.
@@KnottingKnots no problem great video, keeping the millennium old tradition alive! I've been repairing a 400yd long mono gill net for the past few days and this video definitely helped me fix some big holes from scratch without patches. Kudos!
@@TOO_RAW With the sun on your back and the gentle rhythm of netting, nothing better to pass the time!!
@@KnottingKnots yes sir getting my trout net ready for fall in my down time
Nc ? Northern Cape South Africa is the only netfishing place in South Africa that allows gillneting !! I have been making my own 1" nets for years.
I've always wondered. Bless you for your efforts to teach me.
This is the best video of ever found explaining how to make fishing net, especially because you do a few rounds over and over instead of just one demonstration and then tell somebody to repeat, and I appreciate that. Some of us have to see it more than once in one video to fully get the gist if you will. Thanks so much for your hard work I will now make my first fishing net for a mermaid costume! Best of luck to you you've learned a new subscriber!

Thank you for this detailed presentation. Excellent. I agree, I too like working with ropes and twines. So, will be trying to make some netting now; sounds like a relaxing pass time.
Thank you for making this link . I’m gonna save this link so I can come back to it when I need it!!!

I am a crocheter and have learned to tat. The stitch you are doing is what is used in tatting only the knots are all on one thread so they can be pushed together to make tiny loops. Tatting thread is like sewing thread and uses a shuttle that is about 3 inches long. My grandmother's is metal and has a removable bobbin. BTW I was watching to learn how to make fishnet for hair nets.
Great skills on fish net.guides i am so amaze , I love to tips on these craft.Thank you for your video?
That’s a great tutorial. I am making a netting structure for my sweet peas and runner beans so I thought this might work for that. Thank you.
Hello Alison, it will certainly work well for that!! Probably easier and cheaper to buy, but making it has a far greater satisfaction.

Have you yet covered repairing a net?
No, not yet. I have just done a video on the round net and that was a bit of a nightmare at the beginning. I have now added your suggestion to my to-do list.
I'm a first nation and I'm learning how to mend my first gillnet thank you so much for the step y step and informative video may you prosper 🙏
