I met a furniture maker in who has a shop in Nashua, I can't remember his name though. He made me a curio cabinet, after I installed a satelite dish for him at his daughters house.
I am using a Grizzley mini lathe. The wire is Stainless steel welding wire, I got it at a welding supply. It is 1/16" diameter, and the grade is 316L. The grommets are an upholstery item, there is a guy in Andover Ma. I found a guy down here in Quincy that sells upholstery supplies. I use # 1, 1/0, and 2/0 barrel swivels. Here are some links for other stuff, like lips, preformed wire, eyes, or anything else you may want:

Hope that helps you get started.
Do you ever go to Nashua House of Pizza, that is my cousin's place.
