Members Chavez Posted January 28, 2013 Members Report Posted January 28, 2013 Hi! Does anyone know a good place to buy organiser binders (those metal sprung-up rings) in small quantities. Perhaps about 10 items in 2-3 sizes? Can't find them anywhere =( Thank you! Quote
Members Glendon Posted January 29, 2013 Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 Springfield Leather caries a couple, the common 8 1/2 3-ring, and the 6 3/4 6-ring. http://springfieldleather.com/19536/Vest%2CWolf%2CBeige%2C2XL/ I believe that Ohio Travel Bag also carries them, but I'm not finding them in the cataloge at the moment.

Members JJs Leatherworks Posted January 29, 2013 Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 In the 'Outlet Store' location on the Tandy home page, both three ring and six ring rings were offered earlier this month at very reasonable prices. I have never utilized the 'outlet' for their discounted items, but it can't be different than ordering any of their other products on-line. JJ Quote

JJ The only difference is that the items ship from Fort Worth instead of from the closest Tandy Store. Sometimes they have some good deals in there. Chief Quote

Members Chavez Posted January 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 Thank you very much! How would you attach them to a cover? chicago-screw it to a strap & then stitch the strap to the cover? Quote
Members Glendon Posted January 30, 2013 Members Report Posted January 30, 2013 Either chicago-screw or rivet them. If you want to hide the securement point, then you could attach them to a strap then sew that in, or attatch it just to an inner lining. Depending on the look you are going for, you could also go through the whole project and use the caps of either the screws or rivets as decrotive elements. Personally, I think I would go with rivets in this case. Unless you think the rings would need to be replaced during the lifetime of the binder, chicago screws are kind of expencive. Quote
