Oooh.. look what I just got on Ebay!  1942 classic. I know this won't excite many ladies, but hopefully many men still enjoy fishing, frog gigging and turtle trapping as much as I do.  And let's face it "The romance of net making" is about as much romance as I can get right now!

I got a copy of this, it has a lot of cool things in it. I think it's got nets in it. If not I got a book on nets from someplace. I know I have read about them in the last two years. I have a thing I couldn't ID that turns out to be for net or rope repair!

I got tired of the goats, turkeys, ducks, & chickens crapping all over our front porch, my swing, and the stanchion, but don't have the tools, time, & energy to build a wooden fence & rail around it, so I put a band of chicken wire around the bottom, to keep the smaller critters(& leaves) out. Now, I've also strung it with paracord, and as time, weather, & energy permit,  I'm tying it, to make a vaguely nautical net all the way around I'm about halfway done. A book on it probably would have saved me a lot of time & error, and maybe given me a better way to figure out how much cording I'd need!

I have flipped through that book so many times, but haven't pulled the trigger - I should!
