Members JerseyFirefighter Posted August 22, 2015 Members Report Posted August 22, 2015 So I got the opportunity to make a custom dog collar. I am really pleased with the way this one turned out. I really wish I was able to line the inside to conceal the rivets, but the dome rivet placement kept me from it. Turns out I rather prefer making collars over most firefighter stuff. Anyway, here she is. Quote
Members Rohn Posted August 22, 2015 Members Report Posted August 22, 2015 That is areal beauty! The dog that wears that will hold its head high with pride. Quote
Members TheGrinningDwarf Posted August 22, 2015 Members Report Posted August 22, 2015 Gotta agree with Rohn, thats a beautiful collar my friend ! Quote
Members Halitech Posted August 23, 2015 Members Report Posted August 23, 2015 very nice work. You can see where a few of the rivets are out of line but overall good job.My only concern is the d ring on the back. Where it's only on with 4 rivets, depending on the size and strength of the dog, a few good rushes and it could pull that off the main body of the collar. I would have either sewn it on or made that part as the main part with all the hardware and then added the backing with the domed rivets as a padding. Then you could have rolled the edges under the main body and hide the rivets.Just something to think about Quote

I think the problem I had with the dome rivets were the close proximity, which would spread further as the collar was formed around the neck. Future similar designs will be spaced a little further apart so there is no compression against the rivets. The two rivets around the D ring are chicago screws threadlocked in. Theyve held pretty well on a collar my 85lb Doberman has worn for the past 2 years and man does he pull sometimes. Quote
Members Halitech Posted August 23, 2015 Members Report Posted August 23, 2015 ok, they looked like rivets, that is why I was concerned as they will work loose over time but since they are chicago screws, shouldn't be an issue Quote
