Anyone know a good source for 1"x6" test tubes. Craft Supplies has some but
they are flared at the top, I prefer the standard rolled top. I only need
to purchase about 10 of them so I can't go to a wholesaler as they sell in
bulk. Thanks in advance.......Ralph

Ralph, try this: http://www.sciencestuff.com/prod/L-testTubeX/1016-16

I'm not sure if the tops are flared or not. As I recall, the
suppliers are rapid shippers.

If you find a good deal on unflared tubes, it's easy to flare them
yourself with a propane torch on the lathe.

Drill a hole for a slightly loose fit for the tubes in a scrap piece of
wood held in a chuck on the lathe. The fit should hold the tube without
wobbling, but to be able to remove and insert a tube while the lathe is
running.
Insert the tube in the spinning hole, play the torch on the end for the
desired flare, then with a gloved hand remove it and put in another one.

I did a box of 100 in about 40 minutes.
