SmallParts.com: The Hardware Store for Researchers and Developers
looks like the brass rod is the cheapest one can find 72" +shipping less than 10 bucks.
Also the 1/16" tubing seems pretty reasonably priced.
they seem to have other nice stuff too.

I buy my brass rod in 12" sections 3' at a time from my local hardware store for $1.40....

I wish my hardware store had 1/16" brass rod at all :(

Maybe they could get it for you? And I don't know, my brass rod might be mostly slag from old reactor fuel pellets... ;)

I feel like I'm getting ripped off now. 3' costs me $2.20.

Haha, thanks. I like to feel that I make up for it by being able to get my CA and 1/8" walnut in the same place as the rod. That stuff is cheaper than online, plus no shipping costs or wait time.
