I picked up two 12" rods at one of the hobby shops in Regina. That will last me a long time. In time order some washer. Might get some of bullseye ones I have seen on eBay to use on my old sheffields when I go to put the scales back on some of my blades.

Next time I'm in Winnipeg, I'll have to look you and Christian up. Do a mini meet of sorts.
