What's wrong with you? I am unable to conceive of why anyone
in their right mind would even consider letting a piece of ANY
metal larger than a cubic inch, out of their clutches.
Excuse me, have to go, just heard a bunch of noise from the
garage, where I think a shelf collapsed....

cannot think of any hobby style need that would involve a copper bar

0.25x2x15, etc, these are quite useful for all sorts of things, such
as in my welder conversion, etc. But I cannot see any need for making
parts from big thick copper bars. Aluminum would always be cheaper,
have good electrical and thermal properties, and easier to machine.

Is that, in fact, true?
