Hi Paul,

Where do you get the draw plates?

Here in the UK they are available from Horological and Jewellery supply stores. Try Googling draw plates.

Take care.

Tony.

Thanks Tony

Hi,

A friend wanted some half round or 'D'section wire to go around the edges of the cab of a locomotive he was making.  I had plenty in stock but he said that he would like to make it.  So out came the draw plates and I made a short video which I hope you enjoy.
