bucksnort Report post Posted September 5, 2014 Reins are pretty much my usual, 8 strand square braid with 1/8 in. strings. Romal is 8 strand square braid with 1/4 in. strings. Buttons are the double turks head that I'm fond of. The chains are my first set. I made a jig from some 3/8 rod to put in my vice & used baling wire. I'm pleased with the weight & feel of them & they are pretty straight forward to make. Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bucksnort Report post Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you much for the kind comments. Joe, sleep is overrated. Not really, in truth I'm pretty low production. The chains are a pretty common design & turned out to be pretty simple, but I find them priced between $45 & $ 100 on the net. With a little more practice I'll be able to make a set in about 1/2 hr. but because of the design of my reins I didn't need to make any swivels or S hooks, which would require more time. Monica, I checked out your site, very cool stuff & nice workmanship. Thank you all again, Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
