Customer photo review of Rectangular Brass Tube: 5/32" X 5/16" x 0.014" Wall x 12" Long (1 Piece)

I used to use a reading stand made from four (4) bent chrome plated wires held together by two pieces of rectangular plastic. The rectangular plastic disintegrated years ago and I could no longer use the stand. Recently I got the idea of using a piece of rectangular brass tubing from K&S to replace the plastic parts on the stand. I had kept the wires and after a little measuring and some cutting and filing I now I have my stand back and everyone who sees it wants one. I have had it so long that I don't remember where I even got it from and I haven't seen any book stands like it lately at bookstores. I am so glad to have it back!
