missing vendor

So after all these TUBES WANTED ads I've placed, and all the searching on the net, and discussing it here in the forums, I've still never been given the name of a machine shop I can contact who can just supply custom tubes outright. What's with that!

I'd just like to be able to say, give me a 35" aluminum long tube, 20 TPI threaded for 1/2" on each end, 7" O.D. with walls somewhere from 0.08" to 0.1" thickness. I can't believe there's not 50 vendors who can do it in the USA.

Mike;

Bradshaw machine in Snohomish, Washington machines brass tubes for a local shop. They do nice work. You might try them. If you can't find their number, I'll find it for you.

Did I see in a previous post you had a supplier for 7" od 1/8" wall tube? I could use some for a 6" F8 project. Could you post your source? Thank you, Bill Barrett
