Chainettes
We could have offered you 50 feet of 3/32" dia ball chain and a handful of connectors, but we're saving you the trouble of creating individual key chains. You'll get (100) 6-1/4" lengths, each with (1) connector.

Throw a Net over It, Marge!
We wouldn't try to capture 'gators with it, but this 4-ft x 6-ft black nylon, elastic (not-un-bungie-like) cargo net should trap anything else in the back of the pickup, van or kids' bedrooms. Stretches to about 6' x 9', with openings that are 7" square, stretching to maybe a foot, and 16 carabiner-style plastic hooks. Or just hang a couple on a wall for a nice Spiderman effect.

Fishnets
Not fishnet stockings, but netting for actual fish, direct from the U.S. Army (you'd think Navy, wouldn't you?) in olive drab. It's a survival thing. You get a 10-foot x 5-foot net made of 3/4" squares individually knotted from twisted cotton/nylon, so the net won't unravel if torn. Might have a slightly musty aroma (but definitely not fishy) that a little sunshine time will fix. Great for maritime-theme decoration, bible-camp plays (filled until breaking, walking-on-water background prop…) or, we suppose, fishing. And perfect if you want to go to a costume party as Poseidon.

Flexible Magnetics
Need to hold something to a round steel pole? Want to make a magnetic bulletin board? Or to cut some letters for a temporary sign on the side of your car? Relax, the answer is at hand. You need some flexible 12 x 12 rubberized magnetic sheets. The magnetic particles are embedded in a rubber-like material that is easily cut with a pair of scissors. Strong enough to cling firmly to a smooth metal surface or to hold light objects. Sheets are just over 1/32" thick and are self adhesive.

Ceramic Reefers
Beautiful refrigerator magnets, all set to be imbedded in your child's best ever creation for refrigerator work. Six file card holding power, 3/4" dia x 3/16" thick ceramic with beveled edges to minimize chipping. They don't come much better than that!!

Wood You Believe...
A neat bag-o-wood, suitable for model-making, art projects and hobbies of all sorts. The balsa bag weighs almost 3/4 of a pound, and is a random assortment of balsa that may range from 1/8" square strips to a 5" long x 2" square hunk, and lots in between. The basswood may have half a dozen 5" long x 2" square pieces, 8" x 3" sheets, and a whole bunch of 1/16" to 1/8" strips. Whatever the variety of sizes, either bag will total approx 72 cubic inches in all, which is more than it sounds like.

Tough Rubber Pads
Tough, black pads in dense compressed rubber, for hard use. We like these for shop floors, boat decks, auto floor mats, truck bed liners, damping sound under machinery, and for soundproofing, toolbox lining and padding in general. Originally, machines cut ring-seals from these, but the rubber can be cut with a utility knife and some serious elbow grease. You pick pieces 12-1/2", 14-1/2" or 16-1/2" square. All are 1/4" thick.

Scary Molds
These white porcelain molds from the balloon industry are, frankly, the scariest medical-looking non-medical items we've seen in a long time. They come in all sorts of sizes, mostly from 5" to 10" long, and a bunch of shapes: rounds, ovals, screws, rods, storks, mouse heads, all on shafts with a threaded end to screw into the balloon machine. They're a surrealist's dream, the answer to an avant-garde sculptor's prayers, and great items to leave in your medicine cabinet for nosy guests to find. Sorry we can't fill requests for particular shapes. It's all we can do to pick out (3) different ones for your package of (5), so try not to make Kathleen feel bad by begging for mouse ears. Thank you.

Stainless Steel Tubing
What can you do with a thin stainless steel tube? The question should be what can’t you do with a thin stainless steel tube. It's flexible, it's thin, it's stainless steel. What it's for is up to you. Here are the specs: #27529 is 10 feet long,.059” OD, .040” ID.

Cow Skin By The Pound
Leather scraps, very assorted. Each 2-lb sack will have mostly small and a few larger pieces, from 4" x 16" down to 6" x 1-1/2", more or less and give or take, in odd shapes. Think coin purses and bracelets, not belts. Maybe a jacket for a hipster gerbil. Colors are cow-like in light and dark browns (and maybe even white if you're lucky). You get (2) pounds total.

AIRCRAFT CABLE
Stop picturing a fat cable you can use to tie down an airplane. This is great 20–strand twisted cable from the aircraft industry, but at 1/16” dia, it’s sized more for a Chicago Cub than a Piper Cub. The cable is high–quality stainless steel, unjacketed and very strong. Use it to hang extremely heavy mirrors, make repairs, create bendable metal sculptures! Order by 15–foot hanks. Enjoy!
