Need a small piece of nickel silver tubing

[Brian.Evans]

I am working on a Bose Zulu pattern. I have the nickel silver liners cut and already have the large and small pinstock. My buddy has a lathe, so I guess I could make my own tubing, but I wondered if someone had a short piece they could sell me so I could make a lanyard tube instead of the second spring pin.

Also, and this is embarrassing to type, but can you guys point me to anywhere that describes how to do just that? I really don't want to mess it up, and I've never done a lanyard tube on any of my knives.

Sorry, no help here, but I have searched all over and have yet to find a source of thin walled nickel silver tubing. Hopefully somebody will send you some as my search goes on.

Shawn, I think that will work wonderfully. Email inbound. Do you happen to know the wall thickness offhand?

Sorry, didn't see this until now...its fairly thick though. I'll measure it in the a.m.
