I’ve found a pretty good source for brass bits and pieces! I’ve been working on my little “upshure farm engine” and it requires several small parts to be made from Brass. While at a Garage Sale this past weekend I picked up a box full of old brass hinges and striker plates, and some other brass cabinet hardware. A lot of useful pieces of brass. Just have to saw out the needed shapes from the between the screw holes.

back in my glory days in the US Homedepot used to sell door kick plates in half hard brass and a few in hard brass. Doubt it was specified either but thats what it was. Cost wise it was worth buying a few just for rainy days.
maybe worth you lucky sods still in the US having a trip to HD.

Cheers Kevin

Oh i want to go back to the US donuts and decent coffee!!!
