Thanks, just got a quote back they are very quite affordable. Farmers were half what online metals is charging
EVERYBODY is half of what online metals charges.. They specialize in LOW QUANTITY!
They are part of Copper and Brass.. One time nobody was answering the phone at online metals,
so we called Copper and Brass, and they walked across the hall and said "How come you guys aren't
answering the phone?". Got a call back in about a minute...
I don't know if Copper and Brass has what you need, but they've been a pretty good company to deal with..
They have more than copper and brass, they are pretty good with the weird aluminums, and stainless.. They
*KNOW* what DFARS is.. They know what certs are.. I needed 12'4" of 1.5"x2" 304 one time.. I was worried
about paying out the nose for that last 4 inches.. The nice lady on the phone.. I think her name was Wendy,
She must have had red curly hair.. She *knew* that they were random lengths, and she had them pull one that
was 12' 6".. That was awesome...
Copper in that size.. Just a guess.. But I think you might have a tough time finding it on the shelf..
Anchor Bronze.. I know.. Bronze.. And they specialize in Bronze.. If its a size or alloy they don't stock,
they just make it.. I needed 18 feet of a 3/4" brass that was an old outdated 1940's spec.. Took a couple of
weeks, but they just made it.. $250. Probably be $750 now, and it wasn't all that long ago.
You could also steal a copper truck.. One of the methods they use makes these big giant thick slabs.. Slice
'em up.. Pure Copper.. Someone stole one from a truck stop down here a while ago.. They drive by the shop all
the time.
Side story.. One time when my folks were out here, we went to Phoenix to see my aunt(actually several times)..
And every time a truck full of copper drove by, I would point and say "Copper".. And every time my Dad would kill
the cruise control and slow down..
"Cheese and Rice...Would you stop F'n Doing that!!!!"..
I thought it was funny..
