Does anyone have a 36" piece of 1/16" dowel that I could get? It seems
that 1/16" is not available at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, and sanding down
a 1/8" piece seems tedious. See you all in little bit.

Mark.

Dear All,


I am writing on behalf of Tom Beach--he is at the launch field for our regular January launch but the roads and field are very muddy and a hazard for getting cars stuck and for sliding around.  So there will not be a launch today. 


Thanks,


Joyce

Just saw your request. Tower Hobbies has 1/16" x 12" dowel rod, but longer pieces don't seem to be standard. Is it a design detail (for appearance only), or does it need to be functional? Your three footer would be a very long tooth pick, right? Not much strength over a long span. --Jeff

Thanks, Jeff. I'll check out Tower, but I was hoping to find it locally.
I don't actually need a 36" length; I just need to replace the braces on
my Dark Silver, which are only decorative.

Mark.

There's a local shop over in/near Hoffmantown Plaza? that should be able to get them if they don't stock it in that back room.
