Hi Steve,

Hobby stores sell brass tubing and the fine saws to slit it.  You can drill 
the hole pattern in something like G-10 or other high temp material and you 
pretty much have a socket for a few dollars at most.

BTW - I never thought that the tubes would look white hot to a video camera 
in the dark ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
