Hi, back to the hobby again after a very long break.
Thought I might earn myself a little 'pin' money again, to help fund my marine fish tank!

Could anyone tell me where I could get some good quality jump rings and lobster claws?
I've bought a few now and I'm not impressed with the quality of them (they were more substantial in my day! :p)

If anyone could give me the name of a good book to buy (I'm finding myself a little rusty- you try ordering things online when you can't recall the actual names of eyepins, headpins, calottes and the like), as all my books went to charity shops years ago.

Anyway, hello everyone, and any suggestions would be a great help, especially the lobster claws.
