P.S. It seems the video had some weird color balance problems so you may see the colors change around a bit. Sorry if that causes some annoyance. We will work on fixing this in future videos.

@2020abcd wwwdotmicromarkdotcomslash12-p­iece-micro-file-set,7847.html. Hi 2020, Sorry about the weird link. You Tube doesn't allow us to post links! The tiny files are called Micro files. The set above is from Micro-Mark and costs about 23.00. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. N

Hello,

Where is a good place to purchase sheet metal?

Thanks!

[nancylthamilton]

@gmrgrl2600 There are many places but, the ones I use the most are Rio Grande Jewelry, Metalliferous and Reactive Metals. If you have a business (and can prove it) Hoover and Strong are another great source. Good luck. N
