Brass tubes

[Sandy Rose]

Does anyone know where I locally find long (more than a pen length) sections of the same 7mm brass tubes for most of the pen kits out there? I know woodcraft sells replace sections like the ones that come in pen kits and you can order through PSI, but I don't need a ton of it.

Have you tried local hobby shops? I have seen them in 2 to 3 ft. lengths at Raleigh Hobby (http://www.raleighhobby.com/), but not sure of the size. They are used in building RC airplanes/helicopters, etc.

I have also seen them at the train place in Cary; the same "mall" that Northern Tool and Burlington Coat Factory are in.
There is a hobby store in Beaver Creek Commons in Apex that has them also.

Sandy, what length do you need? I think I've got a couple sacks of tubes that can be cut into pen lengths. I think they're about 8 inches long, maybe a little longer. If that will work, I'd just give some to you.
