All of the wire was picked up yesterday. Thanks to the Maillers that bought some of what we had! Coif Cool Smiley

I think I have more wire than any one sane person would know what to do with, and I'm trying to get rid of it. I'd rather it go to a good use (like maille!) than to the recycler so here is your chance to also own more wire than any one person would know what to do with!

(ST=Stainless, measurement is in inches, qty by pound not by feet) All of the wire is steel. It comes in large coils. I have anywhere from 20 feet to 1000 feet of any given wire, so if there is something you're interested in send PM/email and I will let you know how much I have.

You can get it if you live near Kent, WA, otherwise ships via Flat Rate Box or UPS. If you do buy many coils, I try to give you a better deal, especially if you are shipping it. We can do credit/debit or paypal.

Edited- $10/coil + shipping, $500 for all wire as a lot.

Some of this might be unavailable as I have to check with the other materials guy. Apparently we still use some of this, but in small quantities, and I sold something I wasn't supposed to. Oh well. This is what my spreadsheet says we have left:

Damn thats so tempting. However I just blew all my cash on the new titanium clasp/bracelets I'm getting machined. Sad

Try ebay, either as single spools or as one large lot. Lots of people always looking for wire there.

Thanks for the advice! I will probably try Ebay as a very last resort. Smile

Anybody want steel springs? I have more steel springs than anything (even wire) and it needs to go. Some galvanized, some primered, most of them just plain - might need to be cleaned.

$3 for 20 assorted springs (unless you have a preference)

You could also try listing it The Ring Lords trading room

Springs were sold.

Not sure when wire will go permanently. Probably be around another month at this point and then leave (either recycle or donated).

Any of you have large coils of wire? I have a big metal spool thing too. Like 4 of them. I don't know how they work, but they are for dispensing wire I'm told. They are about 4.5 feet tall, steel... I can get pictures if anyone is interested.

Or a Pepsi machine? Coif LoL

It's next on the list to go.

I am new to mailling and have become more impassioned with this craft then anything that I have ever done Smile

with that said, I was wondering if you still have stock? I would love to buy some of you supplies before you scrap it all Sad

heck if it comes to that I can do the recycle runs for yea Smile

I live locally to you so anything that I would buy from you would not be an issue for me to drive out to pick up the stock.
Quick question though, how much wire is in a pound? I know, I am that new to the craft Smile

Thank you

The amount of wire in a lb. depends on the gauge of wire...

Let me know what you want and I'll double check to make sure we have it. Very Happy

Well since I am new to this, my experience in low Smile

but learning fast.
I have been mainly working with 14 A.W.G and 16 A.W.G.
I am interested in A.W.G. of this size, really interested in the square, just not sure how to roll but if you could give me some good price quotes of square and round 14 A.W.G and 16 A.W.G I will get with my wife and come up with how much I can buy from you before I head out to your house. just wondering since I am new to this I see that the wire types are listed as "WIRE ST17-1 -- WIRE ST302" I understand that "ST" is of course "Stainless" but what is the difference of the "17" compared to "302"
I know I have tons of questions but I am learning Smile

Thank you and I can�t wait to stock up Smile

The ST 17-7, 302, 304, and 316 are all stainless alloys.
a bit of google search will bring up information on the alloy property but Most of use 316 works well for jewlery as the molecular structure fixes the nickle cuting down on skin reactions to what little nickle present.

Unless I am mistaken (which I could be, I'm not a wire expert) AWG 14 and 16 are .0641" and .0508" respectively, and I don't have either left.

Is there another size that you would be interested in?

NinjaTails · Posted on Fri Sep 11, 2009 12:22 am

how much of "WIRE ST302 .040 DIA" do you have left? And what sizes of springs do you have?

jim0825 · Posted on Fri Sep 11, 2009 3:35 am

do you have any 18 gauge?stainless steel?
