Stainless steel discs- 3 3/4"X1/8"
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 9:55 am
I went back and got a couple of the stainless steel discs the scrapyard has, and heres a photo and dimensions.
About three and three quarters inches across.
Almost exactly an eighth of an inch thick.
According to the scrapyard scale, they weighed .4 of a pound each.
Magnet test- Magnets do not stick to the discs at all.
There is a tiny laser cut- about the thickness of a playing card, and about an eight of an inch deep- in the edge of each disc.
These appear to be laser cut, perfectly circular, and in a stainless steel of unknown alloy.. But it clinks like glass.
I have four of them at the moment- two pairs.
They would make lovely and indestructible rattan dagger hardware, I think.
Theres a few more left at the scrapyard, but I ran out of money.
So I'll offer these for sale- $20 a pair as is,(untouched), shipped to US addresses in a priority mail envelope, sandwiched inside cardboard.
Drilled, with a cutout for rattan, and deburred would be more....But so far I have not even tried to see how hard the steel is.
I do not have a hole saw capable of making the cutout at the moment...Though a diamond cutout saw in a drill press might work.
Gauging interest for now, and if its worth my time I'll go buy what they got left once I have more cash.
I think there were about enough to make 6 pairs.
