    Default Beginners Net Bag Tutorial

    Basic netmaking can be found here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...g-Part-1-and-2.
    Once my students can tie the sheet bend I have them make a simple net bag like this.
    1. Using the chain start http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...-in-Net-Making make a chain 16 meshes long. I used a 1 1/2" wide gauge.

    2. Make a panel 30 rows long.

    3. On either side take a separate cord. Count down 5 rows and strung the cord through the side meshes (see top of photo). Tie the ends of the cord together (see bottom of photo).

    4. Take a separaate cord and string it through the end meshes (see top of photo). Tie the ends of the cord together to form a loop (bottom of photo).

    5. Hang the bag by these 2 end loops. Will hold a lot of onions or potatoes or whatever.

    Here I go. Complicating a simple project. First I removed the side strings and tied the side meshes together using the sheet bend but NO gauge.

    Next I took away the end loops. Starting at A (either end) I went across the end row tying into 2 meshes each time.

    I tied 20 rows to hake a shoulder strap. To make a simple short handle only tie a couple of rows.

    To tie back into the body of the bag I put a loop through the middle of the handle to stretch the netting apart, I first tied into the first 2 loops of the 8 and then back to the handle in the numerical sequence shown.

    At my recent net making demonstraton I made up a panel of netting and was about to tie up the sides to make a storage bag. I realized that if I used small soft shackles

    I could change the number of side meshes I included and make either a storage /shopping bag

    or a storage hammock

    Small carabiners would work equally well. Tony

    You always do some really neat stuff. Had to give you some rep for that.

    Impressive! I must say that is professional work there, I've tried my fair game at making nets before, and it was tough with a capital T. :/
