« on: October 08, 2011, 02:28:13 AM »
Where can I buy spring steel wire for spinner making in the LML?  Don't want to order online.

The North Van shop has packages of them in different thickness. Also a tool to twist the eyelet if you don't want to use pliers.

Berry's has wires of different lengths for spinners. Not sure if its exactly what you need.

Nikka in Richmond has the stainless wire "Malin" brand in a variety of different diameter thickness. The .024 (#10) has 163 ft. of wire to a package. I think the cost is about $15.

Highwater in North Van had it for $11/ roll (enough to make hundreds of spinners) in .026 and .024.  They also sell the jig for bending wire.  THanks all.
