I'm looking to make something similar to this:

The description says it's galvanized tin, and what looks like copper screws. I'd like to do something similar in either copper, tin, or brass. Any suggestion on where to get this type of metal banding and screws? Doesn't have to be exact, I'm open to some modificatinos. Just not sure where to get this type of material.

Thanks

My father's hardware store (in the 60's) carried rolls of steel, copper
and brass of varying thicknesses and six inch widths called shim stock.
I DAGS on shim stock and came up with a bunch of entries (no ****
Sherlock) including Amazon (again see previous parenthetical statement).
As to the galvanized tin, my guess is that it's galvanized sheet
steel. Screws are carried by all sorts of places in copper, brass
(bright and burnished), including McFeely's.

There is (was?) a business in Monrovia, CA, that sells large sheets
(e.g. 4' x 8') of all kinds of stuff plus tubes (round and square),
angles, etc that sells to the DIYer as well as commercial
establishments. A really neat place to browse if you are trying to
imagine a project. You might see if there isn't such a place near to
you. Anyway, good luck and have fun.
