Wow.

I believe they found a full set of those in King Tut’s tomb. Saw them with the traveling exhibit.

Good show :-)

Yet another ”Just about too pretty to use….” LJ project!

Excellent. Handsome.
Where can one source the material?

Thanks,

Pine, Try McMaster.com. The alloy I used is bronze alloy 954, just because I had it around. Im sure for all but the most demanding applications, any grade of bronze or even brass would be just fine. You can also get blued spring steel from the same place. The stuff I used was .03 thick (because i had it), which i think is a little too thick as it offers a little too much resistance when trying to remove them from the hole. I think .02 would be just right.

Classy :D

-- - Jei, Rockford IL - When in doubt, spray it with WD-40 and wrap it with duct tape. The details will attend to themselves.

Very Nice
