Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

In the old days labs, schools and hospitals sterilized and reused things. Nowadays, as part of cost reduction efforts they throw them away. In keeping with this trend, it is no longer possible to get regular scalpels for modelers and home scientists to use for modeling and science projects. But we have gotten some good old fashioned scalpel type blades mounted in plastic handles. They are not sterile and not suitable for medical use. But with care, they are reusable in the home environment. And item for item they are cheaper than the old type, so you may be able to break even on the venture if you use them enough. We suggest that you stock up, however, so that you have a replacement handy if one breaks, the way you used to do with blades. 6" Long OA, they come with snap off blade shields.

The instructions with this chrome-plated ladder thing 2-1/8" x 24" long say you wire flowers to it or poke fabric through it to make a garland, but it's cooler than that. Slightly curved, with 1" between rungs, it's a natural for a hamster ladder. On its side, it's a great fence for a toy zoo. Slick chrome kitchen? Hang it with drying herbs. Laid belly-down, it sits there and rocks and amuses you - but then, we're very easily amused.

We're glad we were there to catch these good-sized pieces of black fiberglass netting before they were thrown out. They could benefit from a few minutes in sudsy water, but the heavyweight 1/16" mesh are perfect for lots of small jobs. They're fall-off pieces left after the manufacture of car bras for sexy little sports jobs. Most of the pieces we have are about 4 ft x 2 ft. We'll pick (2) about that size. Your girl friend doesn't understand why you're trying to cobble up a 52-DDD bra from leftover mesh? Tell her to just stick to her netting.

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 in 15–foot or 100–foot hanks. Enjoy!

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Ancient Chinese secret for assembling dolls (and they ought to know, given the number of dolls assembled in China): Googly eyes that kids will laugh at are good. Googly eyes kids can pick off and swallow are not good. These 7/16" dia white-plastic eyes with loose 1/8" dia pupils have 1/2" x 1/8" dia striated shafts. Lock washers fit snugly onto the shafts so they stay safely where they belong. We'll send you (6) packs of (6) eyes each - enough for (18) teddy bears or (36) stuffed cyclops dolls.
