Thought folks might be interested in my wire mesh order from http://www.mcmaster.com.

I wanted to get a selection of mesh sizes and weights for scratch building, so I researched on the site and tried to guess what might work at various scales.

I had to return my first order of 'Steel Wire Cloth' as the wire was far too thick.

My second order of 'High-Volume Particle-Filtering Stainless Steel Wire Cloth' is going to work perfectly.

Here's the selection I bought. All sheets are 12" x 12" and average out at about $4/ea. (Click for high-res images.)
