Anyone know if B&Q sell brass stock? I'm looking for round brass bar 10mm diam by about 30cm long. I would call customer service but thought I'd try the folk who might know first :-)

10mm diam by about 30cm long. I would call customer service but thought I'd try the folk who might know first :-)Yes our warehouse B&Q does some smaller stores might not. Mike
You could try their simply *wonderful* website.
They do in the Warehouse stores, not the local ones.
Model railway shops sell all kinds & sizes of brass bar & tube.

The larger ones have a rack of various profile pieces in various metals and plastics.
================== They also sell earth rods about a metre in length for about £5-00. I'm not sure whether they're copper or brass but worth a quick look.

Usually copper plated steel, sometimes solid copper.
They sell brass, but their prices are absolutely ridiculous. Also I don't recall seeing it as large as 10mm.
Search for mail order model engineering suppliers instead.
It might be cheaper to buy from someone like Smiths Metal Centres, even with the cutting charge, although brass has increased sharply in price recently, so that could depend on when B&Q last updated their prices.

" x 3/8" brass round bar any good (@ £1.85 a length )?
MOQ of £15.00 though.
rswww.com stock it.
fyi the grp, B&Q do sell round brass stock but 8mm is largest diam. Expensive as you say, - about £9/m
Look in your yellow pages for Metal Supermarkets

I went to a Metal Supermarket place the other day and was told they now have a minimum order charge of 5.00ukp + vat.
They're still cost-effective compared to the sheds and of course have a vastly better range of stock, and will cut to the size you want.
