Wheres the bodge ? I bet you even used genuine welding rods and that steel look suspiciously like steel.
using a drawbar as a drawbar, what ever will they think of next
Still a tonne to use up before I start importing from 'darn sarf'
True
Top skills, but do you really need a new joint, now you have fixed the old one?
Who spends long enough in the shower to need a radio?
Wife and daughter !
Probably but I thought I'd do a proper job of it. Should last for years like that nowSurely, 2x nails would have been enough?
Ha ha very smart.
You may find some solution to the pulling (without training) by using a front loading harness, just depends how much you care. It does require more effort than just using the collar they've got on already though
I put up with the pulling because 99% of the time they're not on leads, even this picture was posed I'm obviously very privileged to be able to let them run over hundreds of acres, if they had to be walked on the lead all the time I'd probably be motivated to make them improve.

My doubled headed dog lead. The secret ingredient is the blue bit, a section of bungee rope, this gives the whole thing some give when they pull in opposite directions (yes my dogs both pull on the lead, I'm a bad dog owner) The other important factor is that the red lead is connected fairly close to the other dog's collar (about 8" away), so when the dog on the left wants to suddenly shoot to the right it does it behind its companion, and I lift the lead up allowing it to slide underneath, and not get tangled. Helps if one dog is smaller than the other, but should work if they're the same height too.
All the double dog lead you buy are equal length, which means when they pull they pull towards each other, with the offset lengths on this design when they both pull one falls in behind the other. I came across the idea entirely by happenstance, but it works surprisingly well
Edit: before anyone asks, the left hand dog is wearing a face mask because she's liable to go crashing through any undergrowth and damage her eyes, after some serious vets bills in the first few months I had her (she;s a rescue) dealing with scratched eyeballs I decided prevention was better than cure. She wears it pretty much all the time when out walking, and isn't bothered by it at all.
They don't work with ours, I can scratch my knees without bending nowIf they pull could always try a halter type collar, ment to be brilliant to stop dogs pulling on a lead!!
