UK/EU supplies for John Barraclough gravers

I've been asked for information regarding UK supplies for materials
to make John Barracloughs very clever gravers, very very clever!!! so here goes:-

The 3/32" brass tube came from my local model shop, I bought 5 packs of 2 for £1.35(GBP)each pack,
I didn't know they stocked it, or existed, found them through the main distributor.

fill in your postcode, or the first 2 letters, and it should tell you the nearest stockist.


For other EU countries.

Select your country and it should show your distributor.




The 1/16" Aircraft extension drill bits, I bought the last of their cobalt stock, but they will order more,
around £3.50 (GBP) for the 12", although they do have HSS bits in stock( these all have a 7/8" flute)

Thanks for the info Degs. John very kindly sent me and my father a couple of his wonderful little tools. Trouble is they look too good to use!

Hi Marcus
They are good........ and making them up is cheap. You know what Yorkshiremen are like, it's hard putting my hand in my pocket, and if I have to open my wallet..........
