buffalobill plus Ed D Report post Posted November 22, 2010 Ed, can I ask where you got the hardware I just came up with my own design and found some body that can machine a bolt with a "ball"head. An O ring is cut, put thru the hole and then welded back in place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go2Tex Report post Posted November 22, 2010 Now that is a nice little twist on it. Having those fittings manufactured for you must really cost a lot per collar, though.... Innovation is so often squashed by the accountants. I'm wondering how you reinforced the collar to keep the fitting from pulling through and how is the bolt then installed? Is there a nut threaded onto it or is the ball and ring threaded onto the bolt? If so, do you then just use thread lock to keep it from unscrewing? Just curious about the construction. Beautiful collar, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gannonorion Report post Posted April 1, 2011 Ha this is funny!! Everyone they are drawer pulls! every single one of his "special" rings is a drawer or cabinet ring style pull. Google lion ring pull if you don't believe me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U know even it he is wrong - your custom hardware looks very similar to this, and this is much more available: (guess I need the how to post pic tutorial) http://www.build.com...pgr_1400966= Edited May 4, 2011 by stanly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buffalobill plus Ed D Report post Posted May 4, 2011 ok whatever you think go ahead and use these pieces of hardware, but why dont you buy a collar from ed d and then you will see for your self Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mijo Report post Posted May 5, 2011 cdwplus used to offer some thing similar to that hardware. burberry used to use some thing like that for their dog collars as well, before they ended their pet line altogether. I actually looked into have hardware like that custom machined, by the same company that custom machines my screws, but it was pretty expensive just to do an intial run.
