A compendium of boning types (request)
Unless I'm missing something really obvious, there doesn't seem to be a memories post about all the different types of boning people use and what they are called. And what you can use them for.
I bring this up because I was thinking about making corded stays, and I thought, "I wonder what everybody else uses for cording." I am still wondering.
So, I was wondering if everybody could put in their two cents on the following and to include what I've missed.
Spiral steel - looks like a screen door spring run through a wringer, correct? Used on the curvy bits.
Spring steel - not sure; is this the same as flat steel? Gets used on the non curvy bits, from what I can tell.
Flat steel - different than spring steel?
Cable ties - those plastic stringy things one uses to organize the bazillion electrical wires running from the back of entertainment centers. Used for the curvy bits? Possibly for corded stays?
Hack saw blades - only for the desperate stuck in third world countries. Can snap; interface heavily.
File folder pieces - I remember somebody saying you could cannibalize something from an office supply store; what piece of the file folder exactly I've forgotten.
Stuff snatched from the floor of your local unsuspecting Home Depot while lumber is being unwrapped - Not sure what to call this... strapping? Probably used in the same places as spring steel. Or flat steel.
Cord - I have no clue. What do people use for corded stays?
What have I missed, what are better definitions for these, and what does one call the stuff used to bundle lumber?
