I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times on here - I did a search and waded through posts but didn't run across what I was looking for.

Can someone advise the cheapest source for copper rivets & burrs?  I'm running low and need to resupply.  I use #12  X 1" and cut to length.  Tandy has a pack of 75 for something like $17.95 or so.  I know the price of copper is up.  Can anyone recommend a good supplier that with cost + shipping is reasonalbe?  Thanks.

If you are cutting a lot off, consider getting some sorter ones too. They sell by the pound, and there are more in a pound of shorter ones.

The Weaver catalog is in the shop, I will need to check it out when I go out next time.  They are normally cheaper than Tandy on these type items but you need to be thinking bulk quantities and minimum orders for them.

Oregon Leather in Portland. I just checked last week and they were selling them in one pound boxes for 28 & change. don't know about shipping. Sounds like Zack White is a good deal

503-228-4105 just in case, or oregonleather.com

Thanks all - I greatly appreciate the info.  I've always only kept the #12 X 1 on hand as I culd use them on anythng.  But, witht he prices and the price of copper, I may have to rethink that and start keeping a couple different sizes in my supplies.  As pointed out, the shorter the rivet, the more pieces per pound.

Thanks again!   :)
