I was wondering if anybody had any nickel rod sources other than the heirem..? place and Texas knife supply. Both have been out for several days and the heirem.. place apparently charges 7.75 just for shipping. Does anybody know of anywhere else? I have called everywhere in St Louis, hardware stores, hobby shops, home depot, etc. It's amazing how hard this stuff is to find.

Otherwise, if someone has some to spare maybe I could buy a rod and a dozen matching friction washers? Please let me know, I would really appreciate any responses!!

Thanks
