Re: [h-cost] lacing rings
I get mine from Fire Mountain Gems-- http://www.firemountaingems.com/search.asp?skw=closed+jump I like the 7 or 8mm ones in 20 gauge, but have used ones as small as 5mm 23 gauge with no problems.

Re: [h-cost] lacing rings
What do you guys use for lacing rings? I just found this vendor: It depends. For large meant to be seen rings I use 13mm brass rings from the curtain section of Spotlight/Harvey furnishing etc. Anywhere you can buy everything to make a curtain. They come in several sizes and treatments: http://www.charlesrowley.co.uk/curtain-hooks-rings.html They are about 15c each NZ the size that I get. If I have a need for smaller rings I buy solid brass rig rings from a fishing tackle shop. They wind up 50cNZ each here. http://www.tackleshop.co.uk/ProductDetails/mcs/ProductID/634/GroupID/14/CategoryID/105/v/ These are stainless steel but you can get them in brass, I just have a hard enough time finding them online at all;) Go to a tackle shop and ask for solid brass rig rings, a goos storeperson will know what you are after. I have used the eyes of hooks and eyes in the past too. It really depends on how big the ring needs to be.

They are 20 for $1.00 and you can buy as many or as few as you want. Here is the link: http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/products.php?int_era_id=5&start_count_url=36 or you can go to my homepage at http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/index.php and do a search for "lacing rings". They are about 3/8" in diameter and very sturdy! Hope that helps!

Re: [h-cost] Lacing Rings
> I've also been told that you can get them from fishing supply shops. > Not yet tried going there though. > Warmest Regards, > Aylwen Garden Yep, they are reasonably pricey if you buy them that way though. I was gifted some by the Lochac Queen a few years ago (SCA Kingdom, Aussie and NZ.) They were quite rough inside and I have to replace lacing string fairly frequently. I bought some from a fishing shop here in Auckland and they are smoothly finished on the inside. When you ask at a fishing supply shop ask for solid brass rings. Or brass rig rings. They some in a variety of shapes and sizes. Do a google image search for rig rings. You'll find a wide range of places you can by them online. But it may be easier to ask your local tackle store to order some in. http://www.tackleshop.co.uk/ProductDetails/mcs/ProductID/634/GroupID/14/CategoryID/105/v/ These are stainless steel, but basically what you are looking for. I'm trying to see if there are more on the site. http://www.fishsa.com/sinkswiv.php Just some info at the bottom about what they look like and used for. I love them, and have a goodly number on garb;) I am about to buy some more (I have to order them) in 3.5mm size and if I buy in bulk I get them for 30c a piece rtaher than 50c/piece. Brass curtain rings here at the smallest size (which are too big for several projects) are at least half that price anyway. michaela de bruce http://costumes.glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

There is one drawback though, they have a $25 minimum. I think when I placed my order I also got an 18" x 18" pillow form for $6.70. Hope that helps.
