Wooden hockey sticks around here sometimes get turned into project wood. (They often break near the blade.) Maybe you could invest in a welder and do something useful with the putters. *g*

It's not like #3 brass screws are going to be structural or anything, KnowwhatImean,Vern?

By pushing a piece of the next smaller size tubing through.
I am working with white oak and brass hinges. The hinges came with #4 brass screws. When first installing the hinges I used steel screws. When attempting to replace the steel screws with the brass ones the second one broke. My question is how do I remove the broken piece of the screw? Thanks for any and all help.

You put teeth in the tubes and just cut holes. Make sure you file the tube a little on the inside to remove andy burs on the inside before cutting teeth.
Then chuck them in the drill or drill press and cut. Then band saw the plugs out. simple. you can also strengthen the tubes where they chuck by putting a larger tube over the smaller, cutting it to size for the chuck, and soldering it so it doesn't crush.
