Wow, you can get an 8' stick of 3/4" .065 wall aluminum tubing for a little over $10 at McMaster Carr (plus shipping). I think this is the route I'm going...I can have eight of them for the price of a simple carbon one.


I agree that the aluminum stick makes the most practical sense Jake.

I also believe that you have the ability to make a really trick stick out of carbon in your own workshop.


Yeah, maybe...getting it off the mandrel without an elevated heat cure could be tricky though. I've got a great vacuum setup but no oven. The carbon stick I have with my A-cat has had several repairs done to it (and not all too well). I have the original aluminum tiller that actually weighs less than the carbon one.
