Budgie Toys II

[samwiseg]

I know we have a lot of creative minds here on the forum and a lot of good researchers as well, so am wondering if I might call on you guys to pick your brains?

I have been trying to find some Stainless Steel wire about 14gauge (ideal for budgie swings) and can I seem to find any anywhere? Perhaps I am not looking in the right place?

Does anyone know where I can get some at a reasonable price?

Many thanks in advance!

Unless anyone in the UK can suggest something specific, you can try calling a marine supply store. They use all stainless steel products and wire on boats.

Good idea Stace, will have to check that one out!

Looking on wikipedia 14 gauge is 1.6mm diameter
I found a few more things search "stainless steel wire 1.6mm".
There are quite a few "welding rods" of that size - I guess they are just pure stainless steel ?

Or apparently this place does 30 meters for £11

Just wanted to say thank you to Matt for suggesting the www.wires.co.uk website - have ordered some stainless steel wire 1.25mm at 5.2m in length for £4 on 22/08/12. Postage was Royal Mail 2nd class, and got it today!!! And its PERFECT! Would definitely recommend
