    Hello All -- I hope this is a simple question, but even if it is not,
    I'm sure there will be a number of good answers!!  I am interested in
    producing a number of round boxes in sizes ranging from about 1.5" to
    8" in diameter and want to find something to use as a form.  My
    thought was to purchase steel rods in different sizes, but where and
    what to call them??  I've gone through my Grainger's catalogue,
    (thumbing it as much as possible -- ha!), and looking in the
    directory under things like 'Rods'  and 'Mandrels' , but can't seem
    to find anything that would fit my use. 

    Am I asking for the right thing?  Or does this really not exist in
    any ready-manufactured fashion?  What do all you box-makers use --
    those of you who have gone past the find anything in about the right
    size you have around the studio-- like the flashlight or the
    ground-pipe that was pulled out of the yard two years ago. . .(<G>) 

Thank you all --
Laura
