prepared otter board bars.

- A jig is required for bending the four otter board bars 10.1
to shape: hammer nails into the corner points as shown in
the full-size drawing, and bend the wires round them as
shown.
- Slip the split pins 10.2 onto the otter board bars, and solder
them in place.
Fig. 231
- The otter boards are assembled as a mirror-image pair.
- Glue five strips 10.3 to each of the inner otter board frames
10.4, and drill 1 mm Ø holes through the strips as
shown.
- Glue the outer otter board frames 10.5 on top. Cut back
the wooden strips to follow the outline of the frames, and
sand the cut ends smooth.
- Shorten the split pins 10.2, and glue them to the otter
board bars.

- Make up the net hooks 10.6 as shown in the full-size drawing,
and glue them in place.

- Carefully lay the net fabric over the templates, smooth it
out flat and press it down. Cut the top and bottom net
sections along the outline of the templates, leaving them
3 mm oversize.

- Lay the net panels over each other, with the templates on
the inside. Line up the outlines, and peg the sections
together as shown in the photo.
- Tack the net panels together at the corner points using
thread.
Figs. 239 and 240
- Sew the net panels together using a needle and thread,
working along the side edges and the bottom. Tie knots
in the thread at intervals of about 1 cm; this prevents the
net becoming pulled out of shape or distorted. Leave the
upper end of the net open.
