Nickel Silver rods for pinning...

**avatar1999** · 10-09-2009, 02:29 AM

Ok, so I know I can find the Brass rods. But where do you guys get the NiAg rods from? Would craft stores have them as well?

Thanks in advance!

I know Sapito### (the # are some #'s that I can't remember) sells them on the bay. I want to say it is about $4 for a full set, shipped. That includes pins and washers if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks Glen! I would still like to find someplace local tho. hate to spend $3 and then $7 on shipping

I searched, searched, and searched for a local place. Probably spent as much on gas as shipping was.

I ordered 12 feet of rod from Texas knife and stopped worrying about it.

I live in a college town, so we have an art store for all the architecture majors. They sell brass rod in 1 and 3 foot lengths, but I haven't found local nickel rod.

A huge +1 to this. Some of us may be lucky enough to source a local supply at a well stocked hobby shop, but I spent 3-4 months looking before I realized how much time and gas I was wasting. I ordered enough online to last me a few years, and that's that.

Roger that. I wasn't gonna drive around to check, but yeah, I guess I'll just order a few rods to last a long time

Thanks all!

I ended up doing the same thing, and buying a bunch online and just sucking up the shipping, lol.

I have actually thought of trying something for getting them locally... There is a steel company not too far from my city called "Modesto Steel". I would bet my razor they would either stock it, or be able to get it for me... Maybe I'll give 'em a call today and find out...
