Homemade Sausage Making

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a good method for putting sausages in netting without using a fancy device like this one http://www.butcher-packer.com/index.php ... cts_id=236 My wife has been pretty cool with my sausage habit but if I came home with this she would kill me.
Maybe I am missing something but trying to put "green" sausage into netting is like trying to put a one-piece swimsuit on a sumo wrestler.

Any help would be awesome

Get a piece of pvc pipe as large as you need. Use a router to round over the end edges. slide the netting over the outside of the pipe and slide the sausage through the inside of the pipe picking up the netting as it comes through. Tie the ends.
