« on: June 13, 2010, 12:03:22 pm »
Here is my first try at cutting brass.I put it between 2 pieces of plywood and used a #5 blade to cut it.Painted the backer and glued it to it. Bobby

That is gorgeous Bobby!  I assume hobby shops are the place to get the thin metals?  Is there a good website for these?

Thin Sheets and other metal stock can be found at any good "Model Train" shop.

Train modelers work quite a bit with metals of many kinds especially Brass.

Very nice cutting there Bobby.  I know you said you used a #5, is it a metal cutting blade or a regular blade?  Also it was great to meet you even though it was here and there.  LOL  I understand you were a very busy little beaver.

thanks everyone.The metal I got was at Micheals craft store.0.005 a 36 gauge metal.Very thin that you can cut with your sissors.I used a regular #5 rev.tooth blade but if you have one that is not reverse I think it would be better.Glad to meet you there Cheri and some others as well.What did you think of the picnic and the seminars you attended?
