A recent entry in our photo contest showed a bar with decorative foot rail made from brass tubing.

My curiosity took over and I began to research the many uses for this shiny tubing product.

Van Dyke’s is known mostly for wood products and our wide selection of hardware and knobs. Brass tubing was a product I wanted to investigate further.

After all, one of the purposes of this blog is to showcase unique products carried by Van Dyke’s Restorers, and to give ideas, inspiration, and instruction in using the products.

Talking with our sales staff and viewing our supplier’s web site, I soon discovered that tubing has a lot of really cool uses.
