Fw: ATM Aluminum tubbing

["Karen Blodgett" <hercules155@peoplepc.com>]

I recently attended a star party up in seattle, and a guy up there had
titanium that he got from the Boeing scrap yard for 3 bucks. He had to find
a piece that was the right size and cut it down himself and polished it
himself also. He said it was alot of work polishing it, but it turned out to
be a very nice tube. If you are located near any airfields perhaps you could
find something there.. Hope this info helps...    Good luck..Mat
