Isip siguro nya "Pangit naman ng bading na 'to"
Great idea jomz! Ako naman :-)
Punta kayo Carolina's (or Caroline's) Lace Shop or any other shop that sells beads and such. Kung may gf or asawa kayo malamang nakapasok na kayo dito against your will. Hanapin nyo yung corner kung saan nakadisplay ang mga jewelry-making tools and things. May nakuha akong needle-nose pliers doon worth 60 pesos. Smooth ang jaws nito at manipis kaya helpful for bending and shaping stuff. May jewelry wire din dun for around 5 bucks. These are great if you want to replace thick plastic grab-handles or antennas.
Samahan nyo rin ang mga babae dun sa kikay shelves ng department store. Dun ako nakabili ng nippers for cutting, cuticle cleaner tool thingy para pang-apply ng putty, at tweezers for small parts. May mga different grades of sanding sticks din sila. Pumunta nga ako dun mag-isa one time at ang sama ng tingin ng sales lady sa akin. Isip siguro nya "Pangit naman ng bading na 'to"

I heard pantyhose has a great many applications in the hobby - parts retriever, paint smoother, camo netting, etc. etc. ad nauseum. :-)

haha! ako naman I was looking for a very soft brush for the car I'm making, so I went to the cosmetics section -- and asked for the softest blush-on-brush? they had. Do the math, kinabahan yung babae saken eh, but nonetheless helped me out. Pero sobrang mahal pala nung mga yun! Halos Php 350 a pop! Haha!
Wow! Nice Idea Cris! Masubukan nga next time yan!
I've been to aquarium shops lately, looking for a syphon hose for making exhaust tips, at ang dami ko nang straws! Nag-eexperiment kasi sa pag gawa nang exhaust. I found the cocktail-straws to be one of the roundest around you can get, although it's a bit thinner than the ones used in Jollibee et. al.
Hwaw! 60 peso pliers, ala-Long nose ba -- the one's used by Engineers.
Oh yeah, I found a lamp with a magnifying glass sa national, for the extreme-detailer in all of us iwas sira pa nang mata sa kaka squint. Sells for around Php 1,200? Pwede na IMO.
Guys! I'm looking for some really small drill-bits, the one's sold in ACE and other hardware stores just aren't small enough. I know Tamiya has some proprietary drill bits for their pin-vises, pero I'm not yet ready to splurge Php 400++ on a set, whilst I can get a set for cheaper perhaps? I'm not familiar with the measurements eh. Ang akin lang kasi, gusto ko yung medyo magaan sa bulsa kung sakaling mabali while machining.

If you're looking for the drill, better buy the Black and Decker RTX. Very very useful! Polishing, grinding, sanding and drilling. All in one! Variable speed, good for tought jobs like on walls and low speed for us modelers! The drawback is, mahal talaga sya! P8000! Pero ayos lang, hati naman kami ng dad ko. He needs high speed, I use low speed. BTW, napapalitan yung head nya. Pwede maglagay ng drill head the size of 5mm
Jeep: can you get me a pair or three drill bits of .5mm? I had to buy three sets of the Academy drill bit sets (at P645 apiece - OUCH!) within (tada!) 2 years (tatanga-tanga kasi ako, eh) because I always broke the .5mm drill bit - which is the most useful bit IMO for me. How much is it?
well because the owner is a smart guy -it's a bakery and watch repair supplier) i am not not sure .. hey it's been a long time now.. pero here's the directions if you guys know C.M. Recto and Rizal Ave. it's right in front of the Philippine Rabbit Station or the Odeon cinema .. malapit din sa Enriquez Art supply ... aside from pin vise.. of course you can also get good quality tweezers, a magnifying goggles and some useful stuff .. come to think of it avenida is a haven of tools and supplies..

Shet...gusto kita halikan! hehehe! Pero astig tong listahan mo.
Wow! Styrene sheets? You remember what bran they carried, is it the basic Evergreen brand or some industrial grade na styrene? Of course, would you remember the prices, too?
shonen masyado malaki yung 5mm pare, and I know the RTX tool you're talking about, and I find it too expensive, and albeit limited sa use since limited yung size nang tip niya (limited as in masyadong malaki).
I inquired sa ACE, and they have this cheaper, hand-drill, around 1,600 siya and industrial grade pa! It's capable of getting up to .5mm ata eh. I forgot the brand, but they have it boxed, not on display together with the Stanley and Black and Decker tools.
I just learned the other week there were two types of pin-vises, may mas malaki which they essentially call a 'router', the sizes of the drill bits/routers I wasn't able to take down, plus the smaller and finer pin-vise, the larger one goes for around a flat Php 600, while the smaller one goes for around Php 400.
Stocking-Trebuchet! HEHE!
