Here it is! All that I’ve been waiting for! It’s my handwrought cargo net! YouTube video and showcase pics here; build pics and details below.
I built a jig to make this net before finishing the net to form on the bike. The jig was made to avoid hours spent hunched over while knotting and working the net into shape. It worked for the most part but I still spent a lot of time hunched over the bike :)
The bottom of the net is supported by a polycarbonate sheet which was cut to shape and sanded using an oscillating saw. The sheet gives the net form and protects the speed controller from the elements. I used some angle iron to position the saw for a 45° bevel edge.
The last of the modifications turns a collapsible milk crate into a second person seat. This project is still in progress. I want to make a better seat cushion. It’s plenty roomie for an averaged sized adult. More on this later.
The following are some photos from out and about :) Cheers!
