[QUOTE="Hawker, post: 369500, member: 2466"] Thanks for the compliments guys. Appreciate it. The bolsters I make from scratch using 1/4" x 1 to 2" x12" flat bar stock. It depends how wide the bolster is as to what thickness is needed and if the bolsters are dove tailed or squared. Squared ones are cheaper to put on time wise and use half as much material. With dovetailed bolsters half the material is ground off with grinding the angle then more is cut off to square them up. On this one I used 1/4" x 1 12" x 12" Brass and matching pins. I have also used stainless steel and nickle silver with pin material to match. Would like to start making my own mosaic pins but haven't made any yet. [/QUOTE]
