Copper Wire
Price January 2006: $95.00
Price October 2006: $199.00
Price increases are expected. But the mega jump in copper prices (not just wire, but hard copper that I use lots of too), is a drag.
Thanks for the idea. I do use recycled materials or scraps for many aspects of my work, but I use so much of this wire, I can't afford the time it would take to always track down a source. But who knows, it may come to that. Tim~
Hi Marion, Thanks for the nice comment. Yes, that's right. Even my supply store was broken into and had copper pipe stolen. From being just supplies I had sitting around outside, I've come to think I almost should lock this stuff up! Thanks, too, for the nice compliment about my wind chimes. Tim~

Can you purchase recycled copper in wire form? that is really expensive!!

ReplyDeleteWow, really expensive! I hear that a lot of construction sites have to watch that this copper isn't stolen from buildings in progress.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful chimes, however, Tim...I collect wind chimes and love them, in all their forms.
