Hi Miffy, yup those are "Nuts" indeed! They're pretty big & heavy ones. It took me forever to find a supplier for them LOL! I'm in the UK and unlike the USA, our DIY/hardware stores (B&Q, Wickes, Homebase etc.) do not stock the nice, large & heavy-weight nuts at all. All the ones I could find in actual "bricks & mortar" shops were too small and too light-weight. I ended up hunting down wholesalers and I ended-up having to buy a minimum of 200 (yup - Two-Hundred). So, I'm thinking about making some more & selling them on Etsy :)?

Hi Claire... quick question pls... are those washers used as pattern weights?
ReplyDeleteWashers / nuts... not sure exactly what the correct term is but are those the ones you get from an ironmonger?
