Carving a Net Needle

[TheManFromAlaska]

Cool, but how the heck to you use it?

[Colhane]

@TheManFromAlaska A net needle holds line so you can pass the entire length of cord through as you tie the knots. When you need more to continue tying you just let it slip off that center pin. There are a few videos on YT that show the process. I have yet to learn how to make nets, but the needles are fun to carve.

[mryellow123]

@TheManFromAlaska Checkout "WW6VlflNbTU" and "GVw6vmuCCZ4" for good example of the use of a netting needle. Also "y2VxvJ4dIE0" for how to add/subtract meshes.

[Survivalstudent]

Great video!! Thanks for the ideas! Going to try that myself soon

[the430movie]

I made mines out of poplar, and cedar shims....

[createrman1999]

that is really good thank you

[Tsiongky]

I just bought my net needle (plastic) out of a local fishing supply. It is about half the width of the whittled needle here. I could weave smaller net holes with it about 1/2". This one is wider and suited for bigger fish nets.

[survivalmike]

great job on that mate......like it! Thumbs up!

cheers

Mike

[crashdemann]

i love it no bullshit just action. well done!!!

[sephiroth87932]

I have a relative knife just like this one a victorinox huntsmen. Thanks for the video, it was very informative. I found this a better knife review than most. Also thanks about the plantains.

[davidkenedy]

A mastercraftman and my favourite swisser - the perfect combo

[bushcraftourway]

oh ma thats cool!

[supafly1982]

nice carving, what type of timber are you using?

[Colhane]

@supafly1982 I make those out of pine shims.

[supafly1982]

@supafly1982 K thanks, nice and soft for carving i suppose, is durability a problem with them? im guessing if it is, its easy enough to make another

cheers

For this type of carving, I highly suggest a Flexcut Detail knife. I got mine at rockler for 20 bucks. I love to whittle and carve in camp environments. This is the best knife I could find for it. And use it as a survival knife too. (little carving knife + large survival knife is what I carry in the wild)

They don't come with a case, or sheath though. I believe they were intended for workbenches and tool boxes. I made my own, and find it worth the effort.

[mkeating]

and all this time I have been *buying* twine needles! How silly of me! Thanks. I won't comment on the finger cut except to say I also have lots of scars :)

[duane254]

very informative video sir. thank you very much.

[Colhane]

Thanks. I did this as a knife review. I got tired of seeing knife reviews that were all talk and no action so I decided to make a knife review in which I didn't say anything but used all the tools on the knife to actually make something useful. The only tool not used was the can opener.

[maxinpains]

there is an only dumb who likes Victrinox... retarded ALEX in Culver city . L.A. California.LOL

[maxinpains]

man... No wonder you cut your fingers man...you look still very clumsy with knife. SEE? the victrinox ain't that good holding with...it does the jobs in emergency but not everyday use. Would you like to be fingers amputated in some jungles? go ahead!! LOL

[TheWomanoftheWoods]

Taught myself how to make nets and traps that use nets (turtle traps, cast nets, and bait traps). Saved a ton of cash by learning how to make nets, too.

Make my shuttles from bamboo which grows wild in my neighborhood.

[Colhane]

Now that I'm back in Brazil I'll have to carve a few with bamboo. I was in Pennsylvania when I did this video, not much bamboo there.

[quinten24]

Can the blade get looser and looser over time?

[assassin616]

@quinten24 the victorinox swiss army knives are of very good quality, so if you use it within its capabilities it should not

[sephiroth87932]

i knew plantains were good for something just couldn't find out what till now thanks

[wncranger]

Brilliant! You've inspired me to fashion my own. I also like the inclusion of the use of plantain for first aid! Job well done.

[hootsmeister]

Your videos are under-rated! I respect a man, like you, who has 'been and done' and really knows this stuff.

Thank you so very much for the videos.

[captaincoolness55]

what wood is it made of? can you show us how to use it? cool vid man. keep makin them!

[monkeykonga]

what is that for Colhane? it looks cool

[Colhane]

A net needle holds a long length of cord so that you can pass the entire length through the net and tie the knots that hold it together. As you use up the cord you just unwind more and keep tying net.

[monkeykonga]

Thank you for the prompt reply.

[BushcraftOnFire]

Dave..

Great carving demonstration.. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it!

[TrueSurvivalist]

what kind of swiss is that

[Colhane]

Its a Vic  Alox Farmer.

[allengoodman69]

Thanks for posting video of a neat project, for whittlers and woodcarvers. great way(and only) way to show working w/ grain w/ blade only... until next time..."watch yer fingers". Allen

[Colhane]

Allen,

Thanks, If i keep at it long enough someday I'll have half your talent. My stuff tends towards "Planet of the Apes". You have a great channel. There's lots of knives here on YT but very little being done with them.

[agbagtet]

Hi, nice vid. What model is your SAK?

[Colhane]

Its a Farmer.

[Shadandthe4thOne]

Thanks for sharing! Now off to find out what is't used for "Rabbit Net Making"

haha at me

[Ggreenvideos]

Nice work dave! What exactly is the purpose of the needle? Go Penguins...haha!

[Colhane]

Search here at YT for "Rabbit Net Making" he doesn't instruct but you get the idea real well. I have it saved in my favorites on my channel.

[Ggreenvideos]

Thanks Dave

[lsutigers1010]

are you back in brazil ?

[Colhane]

No, I'm in PA right now. We're planning to go back in a few months.

[3HKnives]

how do you use it?

[LittleHairyApe]

Nice. I liked the little fade at the end. 5/5.

[fortwildmember]

wow 5/5 nice job!

[EnergyDog23]

Thats just so cool! 5 outta 5 stars! =)

[ReyMysterioRO]

it looks so beautiful! 5/5*

[FriarTuck1961]

Sweet Needle Dave! 5/5

Hope you heal up quick!

Thanks for sharing!

[albertafisher]

when you say plantain, are you talking about the weed plantain introduced for Eurasia?Or some other native plant that has another common name? great video by the way! 5/5

[Colhane]

That would be the common LAWN weed.

[albertafisher]

Thanks!

[OkieBluesDog]

Hey Bro, Good to see you back.

Hope all is well with you.

God Bless

[wildlifeed]

Awesome!! I have seen and used these many times, but this is the first time I have seen someone make one. ED

[mallardhead]

Nice video!

[RedWhiteandBetrayed]

Good video but if your gonna cut towards you you need to be more careful..lol..

[Colhane]

I managed to do that with the saw cutting down towards one of the holes. The Plantain stopped it real quick.

[RedWhiteandBetrayed]

Cool... Just be careful next time... we dont want to see you hurt... now make a video on how to use the net needle... lol

[deedpole]

5/5

[lsutigers1010]

great video i also liked the thread on blade 5/5

[NCHiker1970]

very nice! Handy little tool. Both of them that is!

[SkogKniv]

Nice one! Glad to see some new footage! 5/5
