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. They're surprisingly strong! -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

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.

Re: [h-cost] Lacing rings
Does anyone know the merchant who sold me a supply of small (less than 1/4 inch) but sturdy brass rings (no visible seam) I sell these rings. 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=5start_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'm sorry. I've only seen what you've described in a 1/2 inch size. They're found in the curtain/drapery department of one of our local shops. -Crystal. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 22, 2005 9:04 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Lacing rings Does anyone know the merchant who sold me a supply of small (less than 1/4 inch) but sturdy brass rings (no visible seam) that I purchased at an SCA event a few years ago? Unfortunately I can't remember where I bought these, or I'd go back to that source. She also had larger brighter rings and even some white venetian glass rings at the time. I'm looking for this merchant because she's the only one I've seen that has the kind of rings she sells. If Greenberg Hammer has these, I don't know what they'd be called. I'm willing to buy from other vendors, especially on-line vendors, if I can find one. Thank you for your help. - Ynes -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

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.
