brass tubing

[Quadindad2]

I'm building a cradle and the plans call for brass lamp tubing 1/2 OD. Anybody know where to find this? John

Hardware store. Look for a rack of hobbyist metals. A company whose name I forgot supplies the rack to stores. I've seen identical displays at Ace and somewhere else in town.

Take a look here and do a search for what you want.

Any hobby shop that carries model building supplies. A common brand name is K&S.

Depending on the size of city that you live in (don't think you would find one in Snowball, Ark) you might try a hobby shop, the ones that have a lot of radio control models. RM~

Anybody know where to find this?

It used to be available in the lighting section of most home improvement stores. I haven't looked in awhile, so that may or may not still be true.

Unless you can find thick-walled outlets, the K&S tubing might be a bit light weight, but it's worth looking. Most hobby shops also hold a K&S rack or two.

More appropriate might be...

It's not clear what function the brass tubing will serve in the cradle. If it is to be a bushing of sorts then the thin wall stuff you get at hobby stores probably wouldn't do. Larry

Thanks all, I did find it at my local hobby shop. It is for the pivot bushings, and yes it is very thin. Thanks again, John
