1/4 x 2 C360 Brass Flat BAR 12 Long Solid .250 Plate Mill Stock H02

Worked great as a brass guard on a knife.

A bar of brass. Not nickel, not copper, not bronze, is brass…….

Quick turn around, Items arrived as stated. I would recommend this company.

The bar is solid brass, unlike what another review said. I cross cut it on my table saw with a metal cutting blade. My only beef is that it was not quite flat along its short axis, which is why only 4 stars. It was straight on the long axis, though. The bar has milling marks on both sides, running its length, which I was able to sand down. Going to 600 grit gives a nice surface. Avoid an orbital sander on this, however, as it will leave swirl marks. Sanding block only. I put a patina on it with ferric chloride, followed by vinegar/salt/hydrogen peroxide.

On time and meets the specs

Not recommended. Surface is covered in deep scratches that will require aggressive sanding to remove. Would not buy again.

Works great for making knives.

Reasonable prices, so far OK

Yep, I had to wire grind and sand it, prime and paint it. A gate latch the length needed, some JB Weld.... and we have my goofy creation of a paper towel holder holder. Yes twice said. So, originally, I put the paper towel dispenser in my kitchen above the microwave/convection oven, and the air exhaust blowing out the vents was way more than I imagined, and moving it in my motor home kitchen was just not feasible, nor was I willing. As it was, I just had to make this neat little weighted bar that I conjured in my imagination, one of crazy mixed in. It became more than it was intentionally intended (yes twice again sort of), but as it turned out, primed painted, and detailed with a Cross and a peace sign, it made an unraveling flying paper towel conundrum look as if I intended....intentionally. Like it or not, it was my thing. I get things, and make them something else. Crazy yes, but the coooolness is in the calmness. No more flying. And it stays in place, just like a gate latch and brass bar, and JB Weld is supposed to...with intent. Thesaurus anyone?

Purchased this to make a pendant for a necklace and a few other projects. It came quickly and was the correct dimensions. It was coated in some fake yellowy coating, and the brass underneat was lighter than the pictures but it still looked great once it was done
