<description><![CDATA[Here's the next fancy tool I used to cut the sheets of copper down the middle, a pair of sheet metal snips.  Now I could have had the sheets cut for me on a big shear.  The cutting charge would have been $20 a sheet or $40 total.  I was going to do this, mostly to make the shipping a bit easier I'd hoped.  However, it seems the place the metal was coming from didn't have a shear.  So the sheets would have been shipped to the company in New York I was buying them from.  There they would have been uncrated, sheared, and packed up into a new, smaller crate, and  shipped on to me.  If I took them as full sheets it would just be shipped direct to me.  While I can't claim using copper is very ecological to begin with, nor is importing special wide sheets, I just couldn't justify all the extra shipping and crating to get them in 48 inch squares.<br />
<br />
Measuring and cutting the sheets, while a pain in the butt I must admit, only took 20 minutes total.  Since doing it myself also saved me $40 this means it was like getting paid ( or not spending ) $120 an hour for that work.  I don't know about you, but I consider that a good wage!]]></description>
