AAARRRGGGGHH !!! I can't find these !

14 years ago

Can you help me ? ....... I'm all Googled out - I give up . What I'm looking for is ---- those small metal tubes on windchimes. Not the big Bongers -- the small ones you see on every cheap Chinese windchime. They go from small to about 5 " long. The ones I did see on Google were so expensive.... I know I've seen them in craft stores before - but I can't remember where. Can you help me ? I'd love to get a dozen sets or so . I'm on this windchime kick ...

Do you have any ideas ?

I have often wondered where to get those, but have never seen them for sale. Hope you find some.

Couldn't you just use aluminum or steal pipe that you can buy at Lowe's and cut it to size?? I know that my DH used that when he made me a windchime....you can easily drill them and "sand" the rough edges off....you can also buy copper pipe if you want to go that way.......

Just checking something Lowe's , Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Tru Hardware , Lumber 88, Value Hardware I'm just looking to see which of the many hardware and home improvement stores is getting a nice mouseover advertisment popup if we put in the name. I can remember when the name was left out and The big orange box or the big blue box or the red box was substituted.
