Homemade feeders

Either cast the leads in a cheap mould from Ebay for bigger leads like Jon above or in one cut into the surface of a wood block (56g & 84g) or simply a strip of roofing lead. Buy a pack of plastic hair rollers (10 in a pack for £1, the ones with velcro type fasteners but take off the velcro). Fold the lead over at either end and trap a loop of galvanised steel wire under one end and twist to make a smaller loop for a snap swivel to attach. It's quick and easy to assemble them and no trauma if you lose one.
