My brother has just retired from 40 years baggage handling and says that 3m bundle is not a problem. Can always take a saw. 
Might be a problem on the train though. :
Do you have 10 tubes to sell me seeing the NZ$ is so good Michael?

Ok cool, i could always pre cut them if you like. I'll bundle 10 up and wrap them in bubble wrap. They only weigh just over 1kg eachnzlongfellow said:My brother has just retired from 40 years baggage handling and says that 3m bundle is not a problem. Can always take a saw.

Michael, can I be a pain and get you to cut 1m off the ends of my 10 tubes so i have 10 x 2m and 10 x 1m pieces. We can then wrap the 1m pieces along the 2m pieces. I will get some glad wrap and do it at the mini if you don't have time. 2m will be easier on the plane and I only need 1m tubes for my planned display.

I'll give it a go. I haven't cut any yet. I am buying a band saw but my GM hasn't released the funds for that yet. Not sure if a drop saw will splinter the tube but we will seenzlongfellow said:Christmas @ the Myrtle (Michael) said:Ok cool, i could always pre cut them if you like.

whats the diameter of these tubes compared to the tint tubes we get?
also can your bending process be done with the tint tubes?
love the arch, but your right with the kink in it.. but im sure , you'll perfect it soon

Got mine last night, thanks again Michael they look amazing, cant wait to get the bending process started, was nice meeting you finally and will be talking with you at the Syd Mini,
And Roo yes i have your 3 as well, i will message you later to organize maybe stopping in sometime over the weekend, if thats ok with you,
i am still thinking about the bend process on my side... hmmm what to dooo... i was thinking to make these into Candy canes a pipe bender would be good for the sharp bend but no good for the arches... heated sand and a pipe bender.... thoughts.... do i get a few more and make 1m canes... see Michael look what you have done to me....
