Making A Crab Net Pt 3 of 4

Here is a retired Chesapeake Bay Waterman showing his expert technique to making a net for crabbing on the bay. It is an age old craft that is dwindling as is the commercial fishing on the bay. tilghmanmuseum....

Grate video but how and where do you start back when you run out of string on your shuttle

[@danodanodano357]

I don't think it takes that long when you
have been doing it for 60 years or so, i bet he can make one under an hour. Thanks for watching CF.

what is the diameter of the hoop?? Great video!!! What a craftsman!

[@prburkhardt]

You use a single sheet bend, some folks use a double. Just looking for your thoughts.

[@danodanodano357]

Sure be my guest, post it were ever you want.

[@JVDW80]

Wow, great video! Thanks for putting in the effort of making it. I'm going to try this myself too. One question though... what happens to the ring when you're finished making the net? Does it have to stay on?

[@joemcguire256]

The ring stays in the net forever

[@davper8619]

[@Ayerlooms]
