Basic simple questions from a beginner....
Can someone comment on pegwood and pithwood ? I know that pegwood can be purchased at jewelry suply houses in various sizes for about $ 6.50 (+SH) for 20 pieces. I am not sure what pithwood is. Are there any household items that can be substituted for these materials which would serve the same purpose ?

I just recieved a set of new screwdrivers the smallest is marked 60. I assume this is .6 mm. Am I correct ? Is this the smallest they make ?

Thanks for tolorating the simple questions.

Bob,
You can order pithwood on Merritt's sight. www.merritts.com Type in pithwood in the search box.
The smallest screwdriver in my set is, .50m/m.

Brian thanks for the link, I was not only interested as to where to obtain it but also on how it is used.

Thanks again for the link.
