I was cleaning out all of my pen turning supplies and I found a tool kit from Berea it has screw driver bits in it. I do not have the tubes. The parts that go into the brass tube are .373-.375 diameter. Any help on where to find tubing to fit? The tool kit was 5808/TB-HP-1 The bushings were 5808/TL 10B which is probably for the B mandrel. It's amazing what you find when you are home and no place to go!!!

Take a look at all the seam ripper kits or toothpick holder kits or any kit that is not used as a pen but a holder of items and maybe something matches up.

I made these 20 years ago, and still have the original instructions. Don't judge! Calls for 13/32 tube. The upper tube is 2" and the lower is 2 3/8" length is not critical since there is no extend/retract. I bought the kits at woodcraft.

I called Berea Hardwoods and they still have some tubes left. They are 60 cents for 2. They are not listed on the website. I have nothing but praise for Berea as their service is great. Thanks to all who offered help.
