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.
