I am starting my first build and this is my first post here. I wanted to lead off with a bang so I figured I would post a link to a place that is going to help me finish my project. I want an electrum accent on my hilt and searched my local stores to no avail. So I went shopping on the net and found this website that has pretty much any sort of piping or tubing you could ever need.

I looked through the forums here and noted the suggestions of taking chromed tubing and sanding off the the chrome but I didn't care for that method and wanted a true electrum "look" with a nice polish. I hope others find this site helpful.
