It went fast.

Just thought I would give an update on my cell phone journey. I tried a few a couple of phone calls to Rogers, ( 2hours of my life I’ll never get back). One that had no clue what they were doing and another that just kept reading the offers from the website. Then I went to the store. The girl...

@Mcgyver That’s a lot of good info. That is a really good deal on those collets. It’s a little out of my budget right now, but I’ll have to try and come up with some disposable cash.

This is also a little follow up from the Thread 'Brass $5 pound' https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/brass-5-pound.11284/ I was looking at the second rod I have, and found a readable marking. C63000 Which leads me to believe it is Nicle-Aliuminum Bronze rather than brass. I use...
