Hardware store. Look for a rack of hobbyist metals. A company whose
name I forgot supplies the rack to stores. I've seen identical displays
at Ace and somewhere else in town.

Thanks all, I did find it at my local hobby shop. It is for the pivot bushings,
and yes it is very thin. Thanks again,

Unless you can find thick-walled outlets, the K&S tubing might be a bit
light weight, but it's worth looking. Most hobby shops also hold a K&S rack
or two.

More appropriate might be...

It's not clear what function the brass tubing will serve in the cradle. If
it is to be a bushing of sorts then the thin wall stuff you get at hobby
stores probably wouldn't do.

Depending on the size of city that you live in (don't think you would find
one in Snowball, Ark) you might try a hobby shop, the ones that have a lot
of radio control models. RM~

It used to be available in the lighting section of most home
improvement stores. I haven't looked in awhile, so that may or
may not still be true.

Take a look here and do a search for what you want.

Any hobby shop that carries model building supplies. A common brand
name is K&S.
