Click here to purchase our Polyolefin Heat-Shrink Tubing for padding your brass rod. Be sure to consult the chart to see which size you'll need!

Like the rod, the strap is half-hard yellow brass of mid-range malleability. Strap is sold in 35" lengths, except for the two smallest sizes which come as (3) 12" pieces. 

Don't forget to pad your brass with Felt or Sueded Polyethylene. You'll find padding here.

We use the oval instead of the strap when working with heavier pieces. It gives a subtler appearance, the edges catching less light since they aren't square. If we don't have the oval, we'll grind the edges on strap to get that same effect, but it's an awful lot of grinding! The Half-Oval comes in 35" lengths.

Don't forget to pad your brass with Felt or Sueded Polyethylene. You'll find padding here.

We use this small tubing to make a receptacle for a sliding top hook on something like a plate mount. You can get a pictorial idea of that here. The 1/8" O.D. has room for a 3/32" rod. The 5/32" has room for a 1/8" rod. Round tubing comes (3) 12" pieces per order. 
  
Square tubing is excellent for making a 2-part mount that will maintain alignment - no swiveling here! Sold by the foot and bundled with a piece of foot-long 1/4" square bar that slip-fits perfectly into the 5/16" square tube.

In addition, we have a small quantity of larger diameter brass tubing that we use when a more rigid stem is called for. We have three sizes on hand: 5/8" O.D.,  3/4" O.D. and 1/2" O.D. All have 1/16" walls and are 3 feet in length.
