Braided Adjustable Dog Collar

[leatheroo]

I have been busy with my dog doing agility trials, so i haven't been doing much leatherwork lately, however the club needed some donations for the trial raffle, so i made this dog collar.

cheers

thanks for looking

Nice work.

Very pretty.

I was just looking for a knot that could slide - can you tell me what that knot is? And how do you keep the ends from eventually coming undone after it is slid back and forth for a while?

[leatheroo]

the sliding knots are spanish ring knots with two passes....i always use a strong glue when finishing the ends...i feed the loose ends back through the knot and the glue will hold them secure...i never just cut the ends off.

cheers

Pablo Lozano taught me a method where you back your standing end out until you can pass through the knot and replace it with your working end. It works best with anything a little fancier and larger than a spanish. so instead of your standing end only being under 1 or 2 with a long pineapple it might be under 5 or 6. The same goes with the working end. It is fairly straight forward and works great

Whenever I finish a multi-string button, I always go under a minimum of 5 or 6 to bury the ends. Then I pull with pliers and cut with toenail clippers. (Don't tell the wife) Roll it some and the ends never showup.Brad
