- This series will show you a simple and fast method of making nets known as the flying dutchman. This first section will show you the tools and materials used by netmakers and also how to make a needle with a wire coathanger In the next section, I will show you how to make square and rectangular netting. If you pursue this skill, I highly recommend two suppliers: Alario Brothers Marine Hardware and Brunson Net Supply Co. Enjoy!
Thank you, this is one of the most informative videos I have ever seen. I hope you're doing well sir.
The best are the oldies. Thanks for sharing knowledge.👍 very helpful.
Your videos are by far the best, easiest to follow, netting tutorials I have found, thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!
I could not have said it better.
I live in Hong Kong,
I have a special interest & interest in making hooks!
Thanks you! 😘
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your knowledge.
I want to thank you, I am practicing and have successfully picked up the first part of tieing the first couple rows,you are a good teacher,I'm really excited.
I can hardly wait to start video 3!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge unselfishly! The best on youtube.
Atlast! I found the most useful video for making the needles. Thank you.
i just carve mine
I am also grateful, for the very clear instructions.
Good tips on safety, it’s amazing how many needless tragedies have happened because of simply not paying proper attention!
Awesome Teacher, well worth watching.
I have greatly enjoyed the three videos that you have out. I live in the low country of South Carolina, just below Charleston near Beaufort. When I was growing up in the 1950s everyone that lived on the creeks and marshes had a cast net and a home made oyster bateau. There was always one person in every family that new how to make cast nets as well as seine gill and drag nets. Those skills are almost dead as well as the boat building. Please make a video showing the different patterns. Keep the skills alive. Thank you!
it was like that down on the Texas coast where I am from as well, my mom's old uncles made nets, and even my biological father learned the craft from them. All of the old boatbuilders are gone now too.
Clear and informative, thanks for these videos!
Love your video, thanks muchly for all that great advice
super - thaks for sharing. I like the way you take your time talking. Reminds me of my gradpa. Best greetings from Germany!
Thanks for a easy to understand video. Hope to make me a needle an put it to use here in Norway. We have a long tradition for net making in my country. But not here where i live, so i learn from you :-) Thanks again, Irene
Excellent video this has been so helpful in teaching me how to start my own net. I really appreciate the mention of safety having nets laying around. Great job!
Thank you so much. Bless your knowledge.

Very useful, thank you!
Thank you for sharing. The safety aspect is extremely important and I'm glad you covered this.
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and experience for all
Interested..
Thank you for sharing.
Hello, I enjoyed watching Your videos very much. Your calm way to show and explain all, displays Your decades of experience in net making. That´s why I want to ask You, if it is possible to add some more videos where You explain how to attach the weights, to throw the net right and so on. I would really appreciate that.
Really excellent, thank you
Thank you!
There is a man in Picayune Mississississississippi that makes them wire needles out of stainless. He welds his, but I really like the idea of the twisted clothes hangers needles.
I Love Brunson, and recently made a day trip out of visiting their facility, but never heard of Alario Brothers. I've been looking all over for number 6 in tarred line, and green bonded, but could only find it in Canada, and The UK. Thank You So Much.
Another is Memphis Net and Twine. Good luck.
Thanks for posting
wow I found number 2 first not realizing right away that it was number 2 and almost skipped this video. Glad I found out it was number 2 :P
i watch my dad make his wire needle just like you did & watch him make the wood needles & blokes ; i made a net to put lettuce and cabbage in it & hang it up so my chickens can eat it & stay out of the dirt i will try post it here on you tube
thanks it's helpful
great tutorial. wish my sound worked. I have made 13 cast nets and the last one was 13 footer. I am 86 years old and for some reason I decided to make another cotton net just to show how small the grouped net was so small compared to the new mono nets when you gather them to cast your net. Lost my way and was struggling with the start of my new net and the overhand not. Your video proved to me I was starting correctly and your overhand knot is exactly the way I learned in the beginning. Many thanks. Please get rid of the word graphics on screen they cover up many important shots.
Many thanks. I'm not monetized, the graphics are from youtube.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your knowledge. and what kind of wood did you use to make your nettles . thank you. and thanks for leaving this video up , so we can learn from it.
Its osage orange.
I want to know if you could make a video making nots slowly thanks
what brand is the bonded #4
Thanks
They don't use a urethane on most of the bonded twine today. It's basically an Elmer's glue mix that sets the fibers. Nets and More out of Louisiana has basically any twine or tool you could want.
COOL
Can you use these methods of tying on a monofilament cast net ?

What type of fishing line can you make it with and what knot do you use to keep it from moving
+Allen Ramos Thanks for watching Allen. Be sure to subscribe as I have a short video on tying monofilament line with the flying dutchman method. I'm also working on a video showing several different types of mesh knots and their history. Good luck.
Hi there , i need your advice for the best possible twine 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
Thanks for watching. From what you describe, I would use bonded nylon. Good luck.
Very helpful.Can i do it with fishing line?
Yep.
What are the dimensions of a Net needal for making a Gill Net
I just put a link to this video on my latest Cast Net video. You'll probably get a lot of traffic here over the course of the week.
I feel like a kid learning from his grandpa. lol.
It's ok at 1.5x playback speed.
Yea, a reply after 3 years 🙂
how do you make your needles
Jose A Morales I make wooden needles with a drill, a coping saw, and sandpaper. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Süper 😊
I. Would like to know what the dimensions are, L. W.
Is there a calculator online or a formula I can use to estimate the amount of line required to make certain size certain mesh nets? Such as I'm interested in making a 7-8 foot 1/2 mesh monofilament cast net. I'd like to have all the supplies I need before I even make it. I realize that something like this could take a very long time to make, but I want to order what I need in bulk so I can save money. How do know how much line will be required in order to make such a net?
My nets which are about 8ft long take about a single spool of #4 twine. This is roughly 5,000 ft. For 1/2" mesh, you'll need at least twice to three times that amount - and a lot of time. Good luck and thanks for watching.
How can these cast net companies sell 8 foot cast nets for $40 when you can't even buy the mono for that price. What I'm seeing for a 1 lb spool around 4000-5000 yards depending on the lb of the string is going for about $35-$40. I checked this on ebay maybe I'm looking in the wrong place to buy the string from.
There are companies (Brunsonet) that sell mono for net making. I don't use them however because the line doesn't hold up. Eventually sunlight will break them down. Victor, you're talking about spending a really long time to make the net you describe. If not cared for, it could break down in a year. Commercial mono nets are made from milled netting that is cut into triangles, then seamed together.
All the nets I buy are handcrafted. Betts is the main brand carried by walmart over here. You can buy an 8 foot cast net for $42. I've never seen a commercial cast net to be honest. Even the Super Spreader cast nets sold at walmart and other places are fairly cheap about $60 for an 8 foot net. They must have a really good supplier for their mono because after adding up the price of just the mono its higher then just buying cast net already made. I wanted to do this because I figured it would be a cheap way to go. Even if it took me 6 months to craft it. I was also looking at the price of 12 lb test mono. I'm not 100% sure what lb test they use. From the looks of my super spreader its about 10-12 lb test. As far as sunlight I don't store my nets in any type of sunlight the only time they see a little sun is while casting. When I'm not casting I have them sitting inside a basket where they would get minimal sunlight. I also clean them really well when I get home to make sure and get the salt water off them. I've kept a $60 cast net for 3 years before I decided to replace it. I take very good care of my nets. I also cast net for shrimp a lot so I use the crap out of my nets. Few times a week. Thank you for letting me know about that company I'll take a look at their prices.
Does Brunsonet have a website I'm not getting anything on google with that name.
I have no idea what I’m doing wrong my knot will not slide down together
How to make a sewing tool
Memphis Net & Twine Co.
Anybody else hearing Eyore in this guy's voice? He has that low drawl.
Thank you for this series. I am wanting to create a biodegradable netting, is a natural cotton the best choice for this? and regarding the thickness, would butchers cotton twine be suitable? and which thickness? I dont know if this will mean anything to you as it doesnt me, but it lists the thickness as Fine, 660 TEX, Fine/Med 1320 TEX and MED 1950 TEX.

If you are able to help me it would be awesome, either way, I think while i am learning I think I will start off with the type of cotton ball twine you buy at a office products store :) as its Very cheap, Cotton Twine Ball 80m $3.54
Back in the sixties, all castnets were made from cotton twine. We caught a lot of fish with those nets. They worked very nicely indeed. The most important thing is that with cotton twine, you must wash them as soon as you are finished using them and hang them up to dry, then store them in a cool dark place. If you have any problems, feel free to ask and I will try to help.
Thanks :)
those loops are for hammock what type of rope jus good for hammock
Cotton or polyester.. Whatever you want to lay on, can't stand them myself.

this is hilarious on 0.5 speed
Why would you spend all that time and money when you can buy a net really cheap ..the money offsets ..but the time factor
William Jones thats not the point
@@carllloyd7534 oh well please tell me what the point is ..cause from where I'm at is this ..you most likely are wanting to know how for worst case scenario ..time spent on net is probably 3 hours or more ..buy cheap survival net in small package for less than 3.00 put in your oh shit bag and done ...spend same time learning a new skill or honing old skill ..that you cant buy so cheaply ....let's say your in a worst case scenario ..gathering materials for cordage ..then twisting them into cordage ..hours spent weaving a net ..you've lost the whole day and still no fish ...buy a net for your oh shit bag ..bam 15 minutes your fishing ..the rest of day can be spent on task like shelter,fire,water,signaling,hunting,weapons,or even just sitting relaxing and making a long term plan ..rather than focused on just one single task ...you could be fishing (bought net) ..fire built ...shelter built ..and water purified ..all in same time to make net
@@williamjones6053 if you have an inch bag or shtf bag whatever you refer to it...( i have one too)..you should have cordage in it.....not to be a smart ass...but cordage is one of many things that are time consuming things that can be made , but carrying. "The 10 c's" ..recuces that..Dave and others in that lifestyle pretty well sumed it up... Logically....the hardest things to construct items are cordage.containers .cover. combustion and #1..cutting....there's thousands of bush guys..but I'd start with self reliance outfitters / the pathfinder school... Its a deep rabbit hole. But VERY informative
