Brass tube to France

[Maximil]

Hello

I'm looking for brass tube of the kit Jr Statesman. It's a tube of 10.2mm (4") and a tube of 12.2mm (4.8") with a thickness about 0.25mm (0,0098").
I'm looking for about 2x 1 meters of each. In France, I don't find these. Do you know where I can find this on line in US ?

Thanks a lot

I don't of any place that sells those tubes at a longer length, but if you are needing a longer 10.2mm tube you can buy replacement tubes for the Zen kit from craft supply. I don't know the length without looking but it's around 4in. they also sell standard length replacement tubes for the jr. statesman as well.

Jr Statesman uses same length/diameter tubes as the Gentleman Jr and Majestic Jr kits (and most probably the Triton kit).

I just bought a spare set of tubes for the Majestic Jr tubes from woodturningz.com. You can also buy them from Penn State Industries. Being in France, I seriously doubt that Penn State can figure out how to ship them to you (I could be wrong...) But I think Ryan et al. at woodturningz would be happy to sell you spare tubes. You want the tubes for the Majestic Jr; it's not on the woodturningz web site, but they have a few. Shipping will cost you more than the tubes themselves. (p/n PKMAJJRTU).

Or are you looking for uncut tubes, and you will cut to length yourself?

I need sometimes lenght longuer than in the kit. But it's too because I crashed sometimes a kit so I need replacement pieces. Thanks for the info.

Here are some for you to try. Last 2 are in England. I Googled "thin wall brass tube" and "metric brass tube". Most are selling K&S Metals products and their pdf shows they make some metric too. There must be some model and hobby suppliers in France that sell the same or equivalent products and I would have to believe the Germans would as well.

A little solder and flux will easily join two stock brass tubes together. Sand off the excess solder and put the joint in the middle of the pen body.
