[Woodcarver] Detail Master

[Karl Allison]

Dick,

Don't know about your area but my local (Tampa Bay area) Home Depots 
quit selling the plastic tubing by the foot about 6 months ago, 
bummer.  Now you have to buy in bulk ie; 20ft, 50ft, etc.  I use the 
tubing to protect the blades of knifes I make.  However, Lowes still 
sells by the foot, at least for now.
