My Short Control dog leads. and a quick question.

[crowded-solitude]

I just finished a couple short control dog leads, I am thinking of making full length leads but I cant seem to find any chains with trigger hooks attached. I was wandering if anyone knows where I can them? All I seem to find is full leads with a handle attached.

The only other option I can think of is buying chain and attaching it to the trigger hook with quick links but that doesn't look too good. Any ideas?





Thanks for looking,

Gary

Why chain ?

A leather strap looks good, is strong and easy to attach at both ends.

To make a full length would take hours and my hand would cramp up lol. I was thinking of making the handle and attaching it to a chain.

Sorry I missed that part. Think might be a good idea.

Why not use a different knot which lengthens more quickly; round sennit, say, for the length between handloop and hook.Lends itself to multicolour and is easy to splice.

Two peg spool knit from stormdranes blog maybe? Makes a long length fast.

Edit: which Ive just noticed is a square loop sinnet!
Doh! Sorry bilmo, that'll teach me to read all the posts!

I Gary. I used to do this and had a mate weld some rings closed with chair and hook on. It's pretty basic welding.

Thats what I'm thinking now. Going to ask a friend to weld it for me. All the ones I can find are about £10 + so I think welding the the links will be a better idea. Just a bit worried it will weaken it. (don't know anything about welding)

Thanks

The welds if done right will out hold the hook.
