Hi everyone,
I had a interesting request that I'm working on and there is a, make various wood species "sticks" (these have a proper name but I'm protecting the inventors request for secrecy in its use...!:wink 350mm long, 10mm on one end and 8mm on the other finished to 400 grit and oiled, These require to have a hole through the centre (350mm length) from 5mm up, these have to be perfectly drilled, straight, dry, medium density and perfectly balanced.
One on the woods request is hight figured Olive wood and I'm ready to start drilling (engineering modified special drill) of 6mm but I'm thinking the possibility to drill slightly bigger and try to get a brass tube (pen type) with at least 350mm in length and under 7mm OD, possibly with a thicker wall thickness than the pen tubes, so that I can epoxy to strengthen the stick.
I know I can get the normal 10" long 7mm pen tubes but these aren't long enough and I want need one piece brass tube so, does any of you know of a source that I can contact for such type brass tubing...???
Info will be appreciated...!:wink::biggrin:
Cheers
George
