I'm attempting to take up tinkering, but some materials which should be sold are missing from the appropriate merchants.
Missing from Bom Knotwood (windmill in steamfont mountains, loc 167, -876):
Metal Fasteners, Metal Twine, Sharkskin Tubing

(from 11/28/1999)
The Metal Twine is also referenced in "Journal of Gimblestan XIV" and in "Journal of Gimblestan XV" which are sold by Bom Knotwood.
The Metal Fasteners and Sharkskin Tubing are referenced in "Journal of Gimblestan XXXIII" sold in Ak'Anon.
