Love all your new stuff!
If you just say "bird stuff", it doesn't sound so bad...Awesome! Stainless steel toys are my weakness
(and foraging...and willow...and sales...and cute wood shapes.... I have a lot of weakness )
Well you are doing a great job making it look awesome. I am having trouble finding o rings (but maybe I haven't looked that hard).My Stainless Steel Parts? That's because I don't have any. I may not either so that category might get deleted. It's very difficult to get a wide variety in stainless steel being that most stuff is more along the lines of hardware based. I will be getting in S/S Beads soon but other than that the stuff I have is hardware driven.

Coco can do toys the same as the BG
Yes, mechanical type things.
She has great unscrewing skills!
Do you have a light box for photography? I've heard with shiny metals, it's best to wear a white long-sleeved shirt and maybe white gloves when shooting. I could see it being a problem to get the toy still, too. Maybe figure a way to rig some strong, clear monofilament/fishing line and Photoshop that out if it shows in the picture.At this point, I'm not there yet on the so called hands on (feet on) mechanical toys, I was looking into screwing and unscrewing nuts/bolts but it'll probably be pretty basic ... I have nice 5" long x 3/4" wide x 1/8" thick stainless pieces for it but have to find the right nuts/bolts. Do you think it would be best to have it secure to the cage on one end of it or to have it hang or use as a foot toy??
Anyway, I now have a few more toys made up and on the site, the toys I have so far are ones I will use as my model pieces to go by when I make up a toy(s). No extras toys made up in advance yet so toys will be made after order is placed. I've got most all my ducks in a row on the toy making. I will tell you this though ... it is a PITA to get a toy situated in place to weld it. I do get frustrated to say the least ... can I charge extra for that??!! LOL!
Picture taking on the stainless toys, oh boy, forget it. I have the hardest time as it is most difficult to photograph reflective items, if light does not hit it right, it looks dark or black. So my images are so so. I've read all about photographing shiny objects but it is hard to get a decent pic. I have a light box but its still not working out great for the reflective toys.

Wow they look great. This makes me really wish there were decent SS toys here in Aus.
