OK, I have jumped the gun on the grommets, they are plated. I think they are aluminum though, because they were soft when I scratched them and non-magnetic. I've got one sitting in a glass of salt water with a piece of stainless and I'll check it out in about a week to see if it rusts. Since I've used aluminum in other stuff subjected to saltwater, I have a feeling these should be OK for the stuff I make. Time will tell I guess. Anyways, here are some of the small needles I turned. There are 5 unweighted, 4 with a weight in the tail, 4 with a weight fore and aft of the hook, and 4 weighted for and aft of the hook with an additional weight at the tail. I'm going to seal them tomorrow and next weekend I will paint them and post the pictures along with the results of the grommet test. Let me know if I'm on the right track with these.
