Need a source of nickel Gatsby tubes

[Herb G]

Anyone know where I can buy nickel Gatsby (or it's clones) nickel plated tubes?

Have you tried BearToothWoods.com ? They used to have those tubes ... don't know if they still do.

if they are the same as Wall street II tubes Woodcraft sells them, Item 148950

Just be aware that a Gatsby tube is 2.25 and a Sierra or its clones, wait who cloned who (?), is 2.21. It shouldn't make a difference unless you over mill the blank or reuse the tube and again over mill the blank.

The gatsby is finial twist. Length is important!!


The sierra is body twist--you can be "off" by nearly a quarter inch without causing problems.
