> Brass -as well as copper, AL and steel tubing - is available at many hardware stores and most hobby stores in a variety of very slightly differing sizes.  The brass ones are so close together in size that they will telescope inside one another and could be soldered together.  The stores have small display boxes with the tubing as well as sheets of the material. I think the brand name is KB? I don't think Home Depot has it, though; they stick to the larger stuff.
