Braided Leather Dog Leash

Recommended Posts

Hello!  I was wondering if anyone could help me with all kinds of tips on how to properly make this exact dog leash? I would appreciate all kind of information because I don't have any experience at all with braiding!

Thanks! It's really helpful! Any idea about the second handle? I imagine its done with 2 pieces of leather, am I right? And also, do you think I can add something to it just to make it stronger? I'm not sure if the rivet is strong enough for a big doggo :)

Use copper burr rivets. They hold saddles together. And need a grinder to get them apart so........

It's a single LONG strip of leather with bleeder knots in three places.  That video that @Mattsbagger linked should be very helpful, and I agree with him that if there is any concern about strength of the rivet, the leather will tear before a properly set copper rivet lets go.
