Would you fellows tell where I can get brass rod and washers. I know Maggard's sells them but don't you have to place a 50.00 order? I just want to try my first restore and don't want to order a bunch of stuff just to fill out the order. I haved looked at the craft stores in my area without any luck.

Thanks, David
I got mine on amazon
I got my first set from maggard's. Didn't order anything else. That was a year ago though, so things may have changed
I got my first set from eBay. There are sellers who will sell enough for just a few razors. If you need a lot then I agree with Heesoo about microfasteners (buying bags of 100)
You can purchase the 1/16th brass rod at ACE hardware, at least that is where I get mine in NE. Nickel Silver rod if you want it can be purchased at http://www.texasknife.com/vcom/product_info.php?products_id=4754 .
http://www.microfasteners.com/ is the best place for washers. You may feel you are buying more than you need but you may end up using it faster than you think and you could always PIF to others in need.

Microfasteners you'll buy in lots of 100.
if you only plan on a few restos go to a hobby shop that specializes in RC cars , trains , planes and such. Not a craft store. You'll find packs of 6 or so washers in various sizes as well as short lengths of brass rod. Enough to get you going. It did for me.
Ironically the prices for a pack of 6 or so washers at a hobby store is a bit more than a pack of 100 ( +shipping) from micro fasteners. But I still get my brass rod there in 3 ft lengths for around $2.00 ea. 9 ft. of rod and 3-400 washers and I'm good for a few months.
and if for some reason you can't find any let me know and I'll just mail you what you need to get you going.

Thanks, All for your help! David
Straightrazorparts.com is where I bought my last rod from. They also have small quantity packs of washers too. You get enough to do a razor for less that $10 shipped.
Hobby Lobby and other craft stores sell 1/16 brass rod, haven't been able to find washers locally though.

how do u know which set of washers you need from microfasteners.com? I can't tell which ones
The most common washer that's used is the #0. Fits a 1/16 th rod. Any with a .062 ID will fit . Some just have larger OD which you can use to stack.

You can stack some of them too...
Microfasteners for collars. I see they are carrying stainless again as they weren't years ago when I last placed my order.
Your local true value or hardware store will have 1/16 brass rod. I usually buy mine at places like those. 1/16 Ni/Ag rod can be had from knife making supply stores. I use knifeandgun.com or texasknife.com
