Hi er'body,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for bent tubing that can be used to try a curved hilt. You dont see many non-pvc customs that have curved hilts... I have seen pre-bent conduit at Home Depot and wondered if it could be made to work with the MHS at all. Maybe the sink adapter somehow, not sure. Anyone try a curved hilt or know of anywhere that we might find bent tubing?

Thanks

home depot sells tones of bet sinktubes, or at least they did when I worked there, I try to stay out of there to prevent flashbacks. but yeah any local hardware store worth patronizing has plumbing thats bent to various degrees, a lot of the projects I've been looking at use these as a base.

Thanks Darth Devil.

All I have seen at Home Depot as far as plumbing would be the sink tubes but they are all 90 degree bends and very short, Im looking for something closer to a 45 or just a gradual bend...

I got one from www.randomsabers.com (http://www.randomsabers.com) for my curved pirate hilt. see the gallery under that title for pics.

Barmic has used vacume cleaner tubes before. Those are generally considered the best, due to ease of use.
