[Ray Stout]

Rotometals is a good firm with a huge selection of metal blends, thicknesses, wire etc. Quick response to orders.

I've also used fishing line from the large US outdoors firms.

All the best, Dan

I still use the metallic foil used to seal wine bottles. It's not lead anymore, it's more a thin layer of metal laminated to a thin layer of plastic, but it still works pretty well for blankets, reins, straps, etc.

Prost!
