Beads in leashes

[Stringman]

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.

That's how I would do it.

Where do you get silver ferrules like this?

Thanks,

I'm not really that crazy about beads on leashes, but I do like that one, I'd like to know where to get those too!

I have seen some like those at U-Braid it. Tophand also carries ferrules.

i don't know what size those are but ubraidit.com carries silver them.

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.

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.

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.

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
