Walker570 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I need about 4 inches of solid brass rod or bar, 20 -22mm square/round, either will do. Happy to collect or pay postage and contribute. I can buy off the web but the shortest I can find is 250mm or 10 inches .... £25. plus postage. Thought someone on here might just have an offcut lying around. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 There is a company who sell brass bar offcuts on eBay, I often use them they are called "engineering offcuts". I make brass ferrules for sticks from solid brass bar, I turn to the correct diameter and bore as required. May seem a waste of brass but they work out about £1 per one so cheaper than keep buying various sizes and they are all ways the right size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I used to work in engineering and got a much as I wanted, still have lots of sizes and plenty of stainless steel but run out of the size for ferrules. Just started to make a priest with stainless end fitted to a bit of hardwood. Will post when completed if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
