Anyone know a good place to obtain brass?
I am looking for some 2"dia and 4 - 4.5" dia brass bar.

I have found a few stockists, but the prices are scarey.

I assume you're looking for a couple of small pieces.

If it is so, you should go have a chat with the guys at the local machine workshop. Chances are fair that they have what you need, and they won't charge you for shipping, cutting, administration and so forth.

A sixpack will take you far in such a place.

As for the price, as the wast majority of brass is copper, it's bound to be expensive and in particular right now. When buying copper bar in batches of 10 ton you pay roughly 6-7 GBP a kilogram. You are looking at a somewhat higher price per kilogram (if a chat and a sixpack dosn't make it), something like 10GBP a kilogram is not particulary expensive for a small piece.
