Hi I buy brass rods, tubes in various thickness and various lenght. The brass sheets come in various thickness as well....they do have a set. Glad you like the retro photos. Brass was really challenging at times.....no room for error. I wasted a lot of brass parts at the beginning......i still do Glad you like the work Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
