    I have recently joined the daily mailing list and have spent quite a
    bit of time going through the archives looking for information on
    two topics. 

    I would like to find a source for thin (1/16" or so)
    acrylic/lucite/plexiglas sheets or pre-cut shapes, transparent and
    opaque colors. I have contacted Ridout plastics by email but not
    received a reply yet.   Does anyone have a current source for this
    material? 

    And I would also like to find a supplier for miniature bolts or
    fasteners.  I found an Orchid post that directed me to Bonny Doon. A
    search on their site for the term "micro-fastener" (as suggested in
    the Orchid post) yielded nothing.  Ditto with "miniature bolts."  So
    I wrote them today. Frank Singer was mentioned in an 1997 Orchid
    post. Does anyone know if he has a web site?  I'm open to
    suggestions for suppliers of any of these materials. 

    This forum looks like it will be a great resource for me. Thanks in
    advance!
