Members suedorade Posted May 16, 2024 Members Report Posted May 16, 2024 Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any advice about where I could find rivets (or better yet, Chicago screws) with attached swivel rings with diameters of 3/4" or more, preferably in a bright brass color. I'd also appreciate any feedback on if this hardware would be durable, or if it would degrade/stress the leather it is attached to. I've attached a visual example of what sort of hardware I am after. Example of smaller ringed chicago screw Quote

Members TomE Posted May 16, 2024 Members Report Posted May 16, 2024 Might consider a swivel with 2 rings or squares. More to choose from at Weaver, Buckle Guy, Batz Corp, Bieler's Manufacturing. Could attach one ring to the project with a leather chape or loop. Stohlman shows examples for attaching buckles and rings in volume 1 of his case making books. Quote

But they're not suitable for heavy use, only for the likes of a wrist-strap on a purse 15 hours ago, suedorade said: I've attached a visual example of what sort of hardware I am after.

I'm not looking to go into mass production so I'd be buying less than 15 of them, which may get expensive with a custom order. Quote
