Is there a good website or websites to find materials for making custom collars and leashes? I'm looking for two part rivets, bulk coated nylon, and other hardware. I was also wondering if anyone has used chicago screws instead of rivets to repair collars and what kind of luck they had with them? Thanks for the help.

I use the soft steel machine screws called "gray" that can be easily cut with a pair of pliers. Grind down the ends and for a few pennies, they will hold forever. 1/8 inch think and 1/4 inch long.

yes the chicago screws work great.I use them, they come from tractor supply $2.50 for 10.they are in the halter section at our local store.

Chicago screws will come off unless you use locktight. You should be able to find harness rivets at most hardware stores.
