G'day BC

Darwin Ship Stores at the duck pond had a good variety of the Mason wire you were having trouble locating. I think they were out of the 40 but had a fair selection up to 30, then I think they had 50/60 up to heavier gauges, it looks like they stock the Mason range & may be able to get hold of the 40 if you give them a buzz. When I get home from work this arvo I will try making up another version of the pin you showed the other night, if the jig spins them up okay I will give you some to try, if you can forward a contact detail, if not Josh Ker was going to chase a phone number up for me to give you a buzz, cheers Balls.
