    Help! I'm looking for a source for Brass Tacks (Domed)

    The size I require is 9/32" (just over 1/4", in a pinch I could use 1/4"), in brass, with a high, half-round domed head.

    I know someone out there has got to have a resource for these. My Google-Fu is weak today (and for the last month or two, apparently).

    I'll need about 700 or so.

    Good to see that someone is getting down to brass tacks around here. (figured I'd say it before someone else did).

    Thanks gang, this is what I've been finding- but I'm hoping to find honest-to-god full half circle domes. Maybe they're just not 'out there' and I'm being too picky.

    You might want to try www.crazycrow.com . They carry a selection of brass tacks for the pow-wow, rendezvous and reenactment trade.
    All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.
