When I get some cash, all donations gratefully accepted
It'll probably be in a few weeks after I've mulled over the design a bit more. Also I left my 6mm copper plate in my parents garage so I'm out a coldplate right now, might try to find a local supplier of copper flat bar stock.

I finally got my stock in!!! Now to rework my CNC code for the Copper. It is much harder to mill out. But i was expecting that. Posted a pic of a copper block milled out on my website.

There are about 6 places here locally that supply Copper, but they don't stock it, so you have to waut for it to be shipped from their supplier. Usually takes about 3 days if all goes well. And they only sell by 12 foot sections only!!! So if you buy some you have to buy a lot. If you are in a bigger City you should be able to find some in smaller sections. Hobby shops sometimes carry small amounts. Also the scrap metal recylcing places some times have some. |

I chose your rad cause it's the biggest, and I figured butch would need one big rad due to his 2x 220w pelts.
12ft???? how do you transport that? LOL |

Rad I'm getting a 5 buck 12x6 heatercore shortly, will mod on the barbs myself.
As for copper bar, yeah I can probably get it, it's finding a place that'll sell me less than half a ton of it as jaydee found - easy to get metal, hard to get small quantities :/ EDIT: just checked metalsupermarkets.com they have a store in the next city - 20 miles, that might be a possibility. Used them before, they'll cut metal to order and usually carry some stocks of copper though not much.
