THANK YOU!!! Finally, one who takes the time to show how this is done. Again THANK YOU!!!

This is great! I learnt to do that half a century ago, to make a hammock. It's all coming back now. Instead of that plastic piece you used to keep space between the knots consistent, I had used a normal schoolboy ruler. Thank you.

part 2 (part 1 below) I'm just practicing with the slippery nylon and I'll use the end result (my target size is 4 feet by 10 feet) for a cargo net or a gear hammock. I'm sure I'd have fewer knot slippage problems with smaller twine or braided twine. i hope to make a camping hammock, but I'll need larger twine than 3mm. Great videos. Thanks.

this is a very simple an effective knot. i m a practicing this knot on mending my nett. it is very good. i found if you are not in use of your old eftpos card or any other plastic cards then they are just a good.. 3, 4 cards together then tape together to make a temporary measuring board, it works for now.. good luck frr

@edtheevil1 Yes this is a double knot and will definatley stop sliding. In some ways this is not necesary with spun polyester such as this, but with nylon I think it is.

@Naugway Hello. They are easy enough to make out of Aluminium, perspex, brass, copper etc. You just need to cut them straight and file them smooth. Ideally find somebody who can machine cut them for you. 2" ones and bigger, can be bought from "Agouti nets"

[freedomofabird]

Hi Claire and thanks for the comment. I have just had a look on agouti and they have loads of the twine. It is called spun polyester. Hope this helps.

Hi, great and easy to understand instructional video. I am interested in making my own fishnet, I have searched for the correct cord (Material) to use. You are obviously very adept with your skill in net making, so could you let me know which material would be best? i, e, nylon, monofilament etc? (Or a list of materials for fresh water netting)

How cool are freedomofabird short instructional videos, my neighbour bort a netting kit but instructions were rubbish. I watched all stages of your videos and success . Thanx

I live along the northern gulf coast of the US.  The knot you're tying is seen here as well.  Another is the sheetbend.  I use a method called the flying dutchman to tie it.  You may want to check it out.  All the best.  -Gene

@MrConeycatcher Hi. I have not used them, but I have a knotless landing net for trout, and it is almost a flat net. There are no hard knots. Almost as if the meshes have been punched out, but they haven't.
Buy some kit and make your own, there is no better a feeling than catching a bunny in your own net!

Por fin alguien que enseña bien el nudo

[camilofernandez]

excelente, me gustaría saber como son los nudos de inicio y de cierre, muy buen video

[freedomofabird]

@ruakitoto Great idea that, and they must be about the same size!
