Iron Rings

[rickystl]

Hello ALL. Does anyone have a source to buy ready-made iron, round rings of different diameters ? Thanks for any help.

Not sure of either of these vendors, but they carry a lot of stuff.

Thanks Dave.

Do they have to be "iron" or will regular steel do?

I have some and if memory serves (it doesn't always) I got them from the "specialty hardware" drawers at one of the big box stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Tractor Suppy.

Hi Brokennock

Thanks for your reply. "specialty hardware". I'll give that a try. Meantime, regular steel will do. If you have any you want to sell, PM me.

have you tried the specialized leathercraft suppliers? they're the best bet for quality and selection. you know companies like Tandy Leather, Weaver Leather Supply, and Buckleguy specialize in leather hardware. They'll have a wide range of sizes, materials (iron, solid brass, stainless steel), and finishes, and the quality is usually very high.

I always order from Springfield Leather Company. They have a lot of options and styles. Aside from the rings, they also have the supplies you might need.

Most all of the rings you will find are steel and have some sort of coating or plating on them. When I need a raw steel ring for saddle work, I get a nickel plated one and heat it red hot cooking off the plating. The I cut the weld and hammer closed the gap

+1 @purple bean That's also my favorite leather shop. I can just order the supplies I need.
