Members Stringman Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 On the dog leads that you see with the beads, are the beads just slipped on and then secured by stopper knots? I've attached an example. Quote
Members rawhide1 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 Stringman That's how I would do it. Mike Quote
ArtS Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Where do you get silver ferrules like this?

Members Opagon Posted March 12, 2009 Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 I have seen some like those at U-Braid it. Tophand also carries ferrules. Heather Quote www.opagonfarm.com

Members karen Posted March 12, 2009 Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 I too use a simple turkshead knot to secure my beads. However, if the bead I am using fits very snugly, then I don't bother. Karen Quote
Members entiendo Posted March 13, 2009 Members Report Posted March 13, 2009 Does anyone know what the minimum size hole should be for a 4 plait with 1/8" kangaroo? I found some lovely beads that I actually like but I don't know what size. Quote
Members rawhide1 Posted March 13, 2009 Members Report Posted March 13, 2009 entiendo That would depend on how thick your strings are and how tight ya braid. And also how much pressure you apply when rolling the finished braid. I would say your best bet would be to braid something up roll it out and then measure the dia. Mike Quote
Members entiendo Posted March 13, 2009 Members Report Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Well I was hoping for kind of a general rule for the size of the opening but your right I can do that too. thanks Edited March 13, 2009 by entiendo Quote
