Loved the tutorial, very clear. Question.. How long where the ropes that you used? And how long was this lead?❤

[@rockyspetproducts]

Thank you! 😊 The lead is around a meter in length once made 🐶 The cord included in our DIY crafting kits is cut to the length you need to make the lead 🐾

[@Be-ns1qn]

what thickness is each piece of cord?

[@natalielaura333]

How long of cords do I need if I want to double the length of the lead?

[@Topol-mx2bt]

Love this lead, but I can't follow the handle part of the video because of the camera angle, can you tell me if there is a more easy to follow video? Thanks.

do you have a ticket ?

Nice video. Have u tried this as a 12 braid? I'd be interested to see how the handle part would be formed.

[@rockyspetproducts]

I haven't! But I do have plans on making more tutorials of different patterns in the future :)

I have only just seen this. You clearly love your dog and you have made your passion for him into a business, which is great. You also seem to be a reasonably competent teacher. So, what I am about to say is not intended to be a personal go at you, but to encourage you to improve. The first point is: Do you ever view your videos or get someone else to view them before uploading them? Authors of books are often encouraged to get someone else to read them before publishing. This is because the writer may not even notice their own mistakes. The same thing applies to film making. The first half of the film is quite good, but the video became very difficult to watch later on. Not only was the disk at an odd angle, so that people could not clearly see what was happening, but the camera kept moving. This was quite an unpleasant viewing experience and does not encourage me to want to watch any more of your videos. Other youtube videos manage to maintain a steady shot with a clear view of the braid throughout their braiding/knotting/kumihimo videos. I suggest you look at them to see the difference. Secondly, when someone on this page asked you about the length of the lead and how much cordage people need to make it, you gave the lead length as one meter, but did not provide the length of the original cordage. Instead, you stated that the kit contained the correct amount. I understand that you want to sell your product, but you should realise that some people will be watching this film in order learn how to make a lead for themselves and they need to know how much cordage to use. For example, I only watched your film because I encountered a problem with the lead I am making and needed some ideas about attaching the handle. I already have all the items I need (I am not using a kit) and what I needed was information. Other people may be in a similar situation and genuinely need to know how much original cordage was used. Telling them the kit contains the correct amount may not be helpful. They may already have the needed supplies or they may not be able to buy a kit, if they live in another country, for instance and cannot afford the kit and the postage costs. One of your first comments is from someone in Columbia, for example. In my own case, I watch a lot of videos that originate in the States and even if I can afford the products shown, I often cannot afford the postage from America. Even postage in Europe can be difficult. One European company that sells paracord and dog lead kits wanted to charge me more than £27 postage for one of their kits - not including the price of the kit itself - and also charged the same price in postage for a single large-eyed needle worth around a pound! I am not suggesting that there is any issue with your pricing, but for many people, even the standard international postage charges can add up. Please consider what I have said.

Hi there, Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to comment :) When I first created the video, it was in the infancy of the business, and after taking on board feedback and learning and growing along the way, I do completely agree with you that the 2nd part of the video is hard to follow - a new and updated video is definitely on the cards! I also agree that people may want to make their own and use their own materials, and may also be from countries where shipping costs a lot, which is why I have also started to create instant download how to guides!

@@rockyspetproducts Hi, thanks for that. I appreciate your response to my comment. I assure you I wasn't trying to be unkind in any way. I will look at your store, asap.

[@charleshayes2528]

@@rockyspetproducts Hi, I can't recall if I commented that your demonstration of moving the cords from the round braid to the flat starting position saved my life. I was able to start from a non-tangled start and got a neat and smooth transition and the lead got finished. BTW In one of the Paracord Guild films, Mark brings the clip back through the disc - hard to do on the round disc, but it means you can align the ends of the flat handle without removing your cords. For me, that allowed me to splice my cords into the handle. In the case of your knotted tie, it isn't necessary, but I thought you might like to know of an alternative that keeps the braid tight while closing the connection. I haven't got the link to hand, but if I can I will post it soon, so you can view the film without trolling through a load of his work.
