Screw You!

I have no desire to turn SWS into a free Trading Post (remember the Trading Post?) for odds and ends from the shed… But these look like they need to be holding a boat together while pounding through Bass Strait… not sitting on someones workshop bench!

They came from the Jervis Bay Naval Facility in the 1960’s! Let’s not pry too deeply into how they escaped!

“Silicon bronze is a copper based alloy which contains a significant addition of silicon. This low lead alloy exhibits superior corrosion resistant properties and hardness due to that addition of silicon. Its superior anti-corrosion properties in conjunction with its aesthetics, it's conductive properties, and hardness permit silicon bronze fasteners to be used in many applications involving decorative and architectural uses, boat building, electrical work, and work in any highly corrosive environment such as water treatment plants or offshore oil rigs. Its attractive reddish-gold coloration makes silicon bronze fasteners favoured amongst various craftsmen.”
