Baron tubes

[2rcbruce]

Can you buy the tubes for barons in long lengths? I want to make a long version of a Boron

I've never seen them....But......What you could do is cut the tube and then after drilling the blank just glue the two pieces of tube into the opposite ends.
Really no need for tube in the middle of the blank.
If you talking about a closed end pen then you don't need a longer tube at all.

You can get long 10mm tubes that you'll need to cut yourself. I bought a pack of cigar letter opener tubes to use for my closed end barons. They are 10mm and quite a bit longer.

There's a link on arizonasilhouette for "optional clips and long pen tubes". You can find them there. You need the 10mm ones.

Go to Woodcraft and get the Navigator tubes if you are in a hurry and you have one close by.

Oops-Sorry I misread the original post.

If, in fact, the lower barrel of the baron style pen is 10mm e-mail me off line and I can send you some longer tubes for the cost of shipping.

I just last week verified this with a dig caliper, and the lower baron tube is identical to the cigar tube. the top one is the oddball, and if anybody knows a source for them, I would like to know.

If Ron cannot help you check with AS, this is where I purchased my extra long tubes.

Thanks all for your help. I went to A.S. and they seem only to have the cigar tubes in the long lengths. I think next time I order I will just purchase an extra set of the Baron tubes and make each half of the pen about a 1/4" longer. I want to make this kit more user friendly for people with large hands. Whats your thoughts?
