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. Last batch i had made was 10-12 years ago...They were about $40/piece Quote

An old Victorian mews building that sells all the normal stuff, leather, tools, hardware etc but also with narrow aisles with dusty boxes full of inspiration that haven't been seen for years. Quote
Members brookee Posted December 2, 2024 Members Report Posted December 2, 2024 You may be able to find the rivets or Chicago screws with the attached swivel rings through online search of hardware suppliers or leatherworking stores which have specialized appliances. Websites like Tandy Leather, Weaver Leather, and even bigger platforms such as Amazon and eBay may have the particular products in the colors you want to be them bright brass or another one. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware that the screws and rings are made of high-quality materials, such as solid brass, to make them last longer and to prevent corrosion. Moving on to the durability factor, Chicago screws with swivel rings have the desired tenacity for leather projects in common cases, nonetheless, in a longer run, the stress or weight may cause the problems overclock, especially in case the leather is not maintained in a proper way or if it is subjected to the heavy-use projects. However, use the correct size screws for the leather thickness to avoid damaging it by stretching it out too much or breaking it. Quote
