Click on your name at the top right of the page. Choose "Settings" from the drop-down menu. On the new page that appears, click on "Signature" on the left side and there you can add the desired information.

jhearl got a reaction from CaptainSteve in how to make sacks and bundles
Sacks and bales are pretty easy to make from real cloth. Bales are the easiest - fold the cloth around some suitable filler material, glue it together on the bottom of the bale, and tie some rope around it. Sacks are easily made on a sewing machine. Sew three sides with the machine, turn it inside-out, stuff the pocket with cotton puffs or rice or whatever makes sense, and sew the end shut by hand. Below are a couple of examples from boats I've built:

jhearl got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Holding small parts for soldering
If you think you'll be doing a lot of soldering in your modeling career, you might want to consider a third-hand device like jewelers use. I bought one several years back and I use it a lot. They are quite expensive (about $150), but hugely superior to those cheap ones you see with alligator clips. It also makes a great general-purpose third hand for use when stropping blocks and many other purposes. I've never regretted buying mine. No question I'd be using it for something like this.

jhearl got a reaction from Canute in source for steel bar stock?
You might try Hobby Metal Kits - https://hobbymetalkits.com/t/cold-finished
They don't carry metric sizes but maybe you can find something useful. I've purchased brass and aluminum from them before and found them reliable.

jhearl got a reaction from thibaultron in how to make sacks and bundles
Sacks and bales are pretty easy to make from real cloth. Bales are the easiest - fold the cloth around some suitable filler material, glue it together on the bottom of the bale, and tie some rope around it. Sacks are easily made on a sewing machine. Sew three sides with the machine, turn it inside-out, stuff the pocket with cotton puffs or rice or whatever makes sense, and sew the end shut by hand. Below are a couple of examples from boats I've built:
