    I took 4mm brass tubes and cut them into 2.5-3 inch lengths, drilled
    a small hole 3mm from one end and then another about 2/3 of the way
    down. I usually order 3 feet of 30 ga. wire for the laser at a time.
    I stick one end in the hole that is 2/3 of the way down the tube and
    wrap it tightly working my way up to the end with the hole by the
    end of the tube. When I get there I thread the wire through so about
    2 inches is sticking out. When it gets down to the tube from use, I
    just unwrap it a little and thread another couple of inches out. It
    works great. We have a wooden block on the laser with holes drilled
    to accept all of the tubes. I engraved the metal description on the
    end of the tube.
