The price of brass ingot is $1.80 and the aprox. price of 3in. round bar from Sequoia metals is about $6.57lb. This is down from over $9 if I remember correctly. One foot of 3" rod is 26lbs. See what we're up against? If one could find some surplus pieces of like 2.25 or 2.5" at a good price that might be worth it. Pierre , in this case, didn't go through all that work for nothing.
