Thank you one and all for the responses ....
The best price that I've found is close to $130.00 ish for a whole set.
Because I think I only want 12-18 sizes I think I'm going to buy some aluminum or brass rod and with my drill press and a flat xcut & Single cut file make some.
My local metal supplier will sell me 24" of 1/2" rod for $6.57.
Given that each one only needs to be a about 2", that should do it.
Even if it ends up being too rough, I'll not be out a lot of $$..
Again thanks for the suggestions. (I'd never heard of Shars..!)

PS: The closest I've ever come to a lathe is my No. 2 pencil sharpener..

As much as it pains to say, a lot of my stuff is made off sure. My lathe, My Mill, my shop micrometers, my indicators. While they may not last as long as my Swiss made Micrometers, they work fine and are accurate.
That being said, in this day and age, when shopping for stuff, one thing you need to take a good look at is the shipping cost. At times I have paid a bit more for a product but made up the difference with a lower shipping price. Just something to keep in mind.
