Danjmath Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I recently had some fun making some quarter/50 cent mokume gane, and want to try making some with sheet metal. Does anyone know of a good place to buy copper/brass/nickel/silver sheets? Everywhere I look seems to charge ridiculous prices over the value of the metal. Thanks.

Glenn Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Did you check out the big box stores? They some times have brass and copper in the isles with the doors disguised as kick plates for the bottom of doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Check them with a magnet; many if not most of the modern brass kick plates are plated steel; now if you can find the old ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danjmath Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can find the metals online, but at prices that are unreasonable, especially the nickle and silver. Copper I have found a local fabricating shop that has them at reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwynlaredogranger Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 msc has stock, it's normal to be paying a lot more than the market value since its a processed material. figure about 18 -25 $ a pound for architectural plate etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
