What were the sockets of the tabernacle's outer fence and other parts made of?

The sockets that held the tabernacle’s outer fence and its other parts were made of either brass or silver. Scripture presents these metal sockets as the foundational settings for the structure’s components, distinguishing the outer court’s fittings from other materials used in the tabernacle.

Les explains that after describing the outer fence, he wants to keep moving through the tabernacle details. He notes that all of these parts of the outer fence and everything else were set in sockets of either brass or silver. He then moves to verse 35 in Exodus 36 and the veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the sanctuary, noting its dimensions and that at the crucifixion the veil was rent from the top. The specific point about the sockets is that they were brass or silver.
