I haven't used all the types of spikes that use M4-0.7 set screws, but if you were only buying one size of metric set screw to get started I'd suggest the 16mm, for a secondary size I'd suggest 10mm.<br /><br />If you want to use the Chicago Screws seen towards the end of the video you can get them from http://www.buckleguy.com<br /><br />Elastic cord and wire can be bought in many different places - local stores or online. I bought the Rainbow Loom rubber bands from my local fabric store - if you don't have one, you can get them on places like ebay or Amazon.<br /><br />I link only to US suppliers because that's where I am - if you're in another country you can probably purchase supplies from these companies, or you can look for a local supplier to save on shipping costs.<br /><br />Thanks for watching and I hope you make some cool items!
