Simple Slip Lead For Dogs

Recommended Posts

I thought this may be a good youth group project?

No stitching, just some 'safe' cutting and punching.

And something to take home after one session?

Every kid loves their dawg!

Tip: leather needs to be soaked before bending and weaving for best results.

Hi Lin.

It is just common sense really.

I deliberately did not include any instructions as they tend to be far to exact. This is because although the principal construction remains the same, the precise measurements vary with the thickness of the leather and hardware used. The slits are cut with punched holes at the load end. The length of the slit varies with the thickness of the leather and hardware. Edge shaving burnishing etc are all as you would expect.

Any instructor on a youth group project would already have sufficient knowledge to lead his/her class in the project.

It is just a simple in and out weave that locks on its self. I will try and dig out (or take) some more pictures that shows the detail a little better.

The above picture is of the first slip lead I made some 15 years ago. It is still in daily use. Hopefully it shows sufficient detail of the weave.

Regards.
