Need to make a new turning tool rack and saw one using 2" plastic tubes. Anyone here have a source for such things?

Thanks

Most of the ones I've seen used simple PVC water pipe...inexpensive and easy to work with. And with the new plastic-oriented paint from Krylon, you can make your new stand match or contrast with the Stubby quite nicely!

Mark, I have used Cope Plastics before. They have just about anything you can imagine in the line of plastics and plastic-like composites. Their corporate office is near me here in Illinois, but they have other locations as well. They have a good website, and perhaps you can find something that meets your needs. They have been great to deal with. Here is a link for ya:
