I am in the process of building a Wakeling Sawing. I'm do not have any experience with leather work. If anyone has a contact who can make the neck, and feet restraints, or has a set to sell let me know.

Thanks

Cannon's Great Escapes has what you need: http://www.cannonsgreatescapes.com/spectacular_2.html (scroll all the way down and you will see the neck and ankle restraints).

Thanks again Nick!

Hi,

I built a Wakeling Sawing Last Year and had a Saddlemaker do all the Leatherwork for me. It all urned out Great!!!!

If you want some pics let me know and I'll email them to you.

All you have to do is open up the phonebook and look up Leather. You're certain to find someone who can help you.

PS: I did make the Gimmick part myself and gave it to the Saddlemaker to build into the Leather strap.

I don't know where 61magic lives but here in the heartland (Illinois), we have a number of farm supply stores that offer general tack (horse) gear. When we built a few Wakelings, we were able to find straps essentially "off-the-shelf" at these stores. Cinch straps and other tack items require only minor modifications and can be dyed almost limitless colors.
This is, of course, not to disparage Cannon's work in any way. The price being asked is more than fair for someone who has done all the work for you. If you're trying to go the workshop route though this is a good option.

http://www.pxdirect.com/Restraint-Ankle.htm makes something called "Ankle Hobbles" that are basically inmate restraints, but are very easily customized to be Wakeling anklets. They do a lot of custom work for entertainment purposes, if you ever have the need...
