IIRC, it was somewhat difficult to find metric sized (19 mm I.D.) yellow brass inner tubing to match the metric sized (20 mm I.D.) nickel silver outer tubing - did you find a source for it, and if so, do you mind sharing? Thanks!
the elephant wrote:However, now you cannot use the outer slide legs as some of them cannot sit flat on the stone because they have a ring at both ends
Can't you just lay the outer tube on a stone with the end bit with the fancy ring hanging off the edge? I can't imagine that tiny amount making that much of a difference in alignment....?

I can actually see them as being an aid in keeping the two tube ends on the same plane (hook the ring right over and against the edge....)

Happy Birthday to your wife!

Is her gift a tear down and rebuild of one of her horns? (It's a joke!)
