Brass strips

General Discussion
#1

Need to make a bunch of strap steps as per Bruce’s method, 1/32" X 1/8" strips. Even got Bruce’s little jig made up ready for the material. Tried all the usual places, McMaster, Hobbylinc, etc, etc, etc. No luck. Anybody know of a source?

What? No strips? Everyone needs those strips. :wink:

Hobbylinc says they have it: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/k+s/k+s15026.htm

Thanks Bruce! Was on their site and typed in brass strips, everything down to 1/4", but no 1/8" came up. But there they are, what’s with that.
Thanks

Ahhh, I see they call it flat bar and not strips.

Hahaha. I’ve done that too many times myself. They’re search facility never gives me what I want.

I better go change my article!

Search thingies almost never find what I’m after. I can never make the concordance in my Bible work either.

I have never seen Brass Strip? Is this a Vegas act or something?

#9

Yes! Allie Brass is quite risque. Her sister Nana Brass is more reserved. Both are real strips though and they become easily attached to Army solders.

Rather than contacting K & S, try Special Shapes, they have more items listed, but more important they ship what K & S sells.

I was really surprised that my local hardware store carries the K&S stuff.
