Burr-Style Rivets

[NoahL]

Hello everyone,

I'm curious to know if anyone out there knows where I might be able to get burr-style rivets that aren't made of copper. Steel would be great, aluminum or nickel-plated works fine, too. It just seems to me that the burr-style rivets are sturdier than those rapid rivets that I have, seeing as they are solid. I'm planning on making more belts, and I would like to use the sturdiest rivets I can, but I don't like the color of copper/brass for what I have in my mind. If I can't find what I'm looking for in burr-style rivets, I suppose I can go ahead and use the rapid rivets, though . Thanks in advance for your help!

take a look at the tubular rivets. you might not like the roughness of the back side

but they Do Work.

Thanks Luke, I'm just concerned about that rough texture for belts, especially if I were to make a dress belt--dress slacks aren't all that durable . Something did occur to me, though--could I use solid rivets like these? I'm not sure how they work, but they are solid, and they are rivets, so maybe they will work?
