A Text-Book of Netting and Net Making

Contents include: Needles and Tools - Planning - Many Different Types of Nets - Rabbit Nets - Fishing Nets - Sports Nets - Landing Nets - Hammocks - Square Mesh - Circular Netting - Fancy Pattern Netting - Repairing - Splicing - etc. The contents are well illustrated with explanatory diagrams and photos.
