I forgot to mention that I did not go with the copper rivets, I used rapid rivets because I could not get the copper rivets to look good enough on the peened side and I didn't want to put the peened side on the inside. The only place I didn't use the rapid rivets is on the top piece where the leash attachment "D" ring is.

I might rebuild the bottom section.

I'm also planning a lighter harness based on the design in this picture. I'm going to add a handle to the top so I can assist my dog in descending stairs and boost him into the car, (he has one elbow that was broken before the shelter picked him up).

Would 3/4" straps be too skinny for a dog just under 60 lbs?

simon, it's funny that when i started messing around with making dog harnesses I used the same exact examples that you listed in your original post. I also had some of the same issues you appeared to have and had to slowly rebuild the harnesses until I came up with a design that worked the way I wanted it to. The harnesses I make are for small dogs (> 15 lbs) so I had to find ways to make the harnesses light and with less hardware, but I also had o-rings in my original design.

I also tried to make a harness based on similar picture in your last post but it didn't work out, i might go back and try and play with the design so that it does work. Dean and tyler makes a really good version of that harness, i think it's called a pull harness, and a leash that kinda goes with it.
