    Talking Brass in Perth

    I wanted to use brass cross dowels in a workbench, I am making. However the choise of off the shelf items seems to be limited to 16mm diameter /6.35mm bolt knock down fittings or Lee Valley Tool's 25mm diameter /12.7mm bench bolts at US$22.50 + postage for 4. I wanted something in between.

    Natually I decided to make my own.

    After the usual runaround I found "Tubelok" at 6 Babel Rd in welshpool who sold me 300mm of 19mm solid brass rod for $14, enough for 2 projects.

    They are manufacturers of brass and metal furniture and fittings and are happy to sell a cut length or offcut.

    Now all I need to find is someone who will sell cut lengths of stainless for my next project.

    Or try Prime Steels in Malaga. Brass, Silver Steel, Stainless, Tool steel, ali, in rod or tubular for machining in cut lengths to size while you wait. It's run by 2 brothers. Very nice guys to deal with.

    Thanks Rod and Gatiep

    I enquired at Stirling Stainless Steel whilst I was looking for brass rod, unfortunatly thier minimum length is 2 metres.

    Prime Steels sound like just the ticket.

    I appriciate your help. Personal recomendations can save a heap of time and effort.
