We there sure is worse things to be on the brain! I 100% say give net building a shot. It’s a fun, relaxing (unless the hoops decide to snap 🤣) thing to do that is absolutely a statement piece about you as a person who loves to fish. Give it a shot and share your project with me on Instagram and I’ll try and highlight it in a future video!
@@RiverbendWoodworks haha for sure man I will do that for sure. I'm a carpenter by trade! I've been building fly tray tables as well for some local shops and guides I know. Been pretty cool and alot of fun. To mix the 2.
Great work , the net is very original. Can I ask where do you get the actual silicon net from? I have a net like that with larger holes and I have problems with skinny fish trying to swim through the holes. No problems with big fish, but not all of mine are big. Thanks
I get the majority of my net baskets from Amazon, but if there is an odd size or color, I’ll go through Jann’s Net Craft. I have really enjoyed using the Fishpond brand of nets because they have smaller space between. I too suffer from a love of fishing gorgeous water with smaller fish. I’d recommend trying them out.
Nice work on the net! All those different epoxy pours are a labor of love. Mind if I ask where you got your hands on that brass swivel connector? I haven't seen something like that before.
Hi Aaron, thanks for watching! And yes, the pours were certainly a labor of love, but turned out exactly as I had hoped. As for the little brass connectors, here's a link to where I got them on Amazon. I used the 8mm, which seems pretty good. Maybe a touch bigger would be even better?

Looks beautiful, I plan on taking an old wooden net i found and refinish it. What finisher sprays did you use and do you recommend that or any other products?
I highly recommend sanding every bit of finish off the net down to 320-grit, then wiping it with a clean tack cloth. Use a product like Dalys Shipn’Shore to really penetrate the wood fiber with a finish that will harden. Do two coats of that and sand the top coat lightly. The final coats are a spar urethane finish from a rattle can. Choose your sheen, gloss, semi-gloss or flat, and apply 3-4 coats. It’ll be totally sealed and look awesome. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@RiverbendWoodworks Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it! I will be sure to do this and give it a go. Keep up the great content and look forward to seeing more of your net creations!
I used stainless steel leather staples to avoid tearing the net basket silicone material, and also to avoid drilling through the net hoop itself. I pre-drilled the holes for each staple and tapped them home with a touch of super glue. Works great!
Awesome video! Thanks for the shoutout!shout out! Breaking the net in at the end just makes it all that better!
That is a very cool looking net. I swear UA-cam is in my brain I've been looking into building nets hear lately.

Badass!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
That was awesome!!
Thank you!
One of these days I’ll have the tools to make a net lol. Looks amazing btw
It's a ton of funny to make one, and maybe the idea of making a fishing net with minimal tools would be a fun challenge here!
Looks really good, greetings! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Always gotta have a "junk" chisel around 😂
Unfortunately, that encompasses most of my chisel selection these days 🤔🤣
@@RiverbendWoodworks haha yeah, mine could also use some sharpening
How do you Connect the net there?
I used stainless steel leather staples to avoid tearing the net basket silicone material, and also to avoid drilling through the net hoop itself. I pre-drilled the holes for each staple and tapped them home with a touch of super glue. Works great!
@@RiverbendWoodworks aha! Nice Thanx alot fpr the answer. Appreciate it 😊
What are your strip dimensions?
Each strip for this 60” long and a bit less than 3/16” thick (each) and about 7/8” wide (sanded down to 3/4” all finished).
