Oh god my nose is running like a tap. I have a killer cold at the moment, so I'm whiny and gross IRL.
Aaaanyway, went out today to meet with my supervisor at uni, and had a good meeting with him (an hour late! My bad!) - and he put me onto a place that might be able to stock me with grommets and dies locally. After my meeting I went off there and was like WOAH GROMMET HEAVEN. Bought just 100 of what I need (at 7c each!) and and and they had no dies to fit what they stock.How silly is that? They put me onto another place, which in turn had nothing so they put me onto yet another place, which again had nothing. Then went off to a big hardware store and looked there, again nothing.
I'm finally home again, wrapped up in a snuggly dressing gown and daggy trackies, experimenting with a die I already have. it's far too small, and flattens the grommets I bought, but it isn't leaving burrs or sharp bits, or anything like that. So if I really can't find the die I need, I can resort to this. The result isn't the best looking thing, though, so it really isn't my first choice.
