It easy. I just tie the open end,stuff an entire caseing 4-5 meters, then tie the end. I put down two strips of tape on my table apart the length as I want my links to be. line up your stuffed caseing with the two pieces of tape, pinch the case and rotate the link towards you about 3 or 4 revolutions. move the caseing and pinch another link, this time rotate the link away from yourself 3-4 revolutions, repeat until the entire caseing is linked. by rotating one way then the other your links won't unravel. I then put the linked sausages in the fridge for an overnight nap. This does 2 things, it melds the spices and sets the links. Hang on your smoke sticks and smoke away. Note this will only work with natural caseings, sheep (pictured) or hog. collagen cases will unravell as soon as you let them go.
