After this round of efficient processing, he transformed a fragile piece of raw material into a finished stinging net with a sturdy frame on all four sides that could withstand a tremendous impact.
Then, he fully unfurled the stinging net he had reinforced by hand and laid it flat on the ice.
The next step was the most ingenious in the entire system: attaching the top edge of the fishing net—a line threaded with rows of small plastic floats—to the main rope on the ice every meter using a short piece of string.
The bottom edge of the fishing net, lined with a series of heavy lead sinkers, remained completely free, not connected to any ropes.
These lead sinkers allowed the fishing net to unfold underwater, making the entire net like a "garment" donned onto a conveyor belt.
