Home Depot carries a solid copper plate that is approx 8 inches wide by 36
inches long and about 3/32 (maybe 1/8th) in thickness. I bought one (about
$50.00 less 10% military discount). I used what I needed for tower area,
outside shack and inside for a common connect and still had enough to sell
to some guys in the club to recoup some of my investment. They got a good
deal for a small amount of copper and in the long run so did I. It's in
the electrical department by the grounding bars at my Home Depot.

Tapping copper, particularly for studs isn't that big an issue. What you do
make sure you are thick enough for 3 threads, and use NC threads, and put in
studs, and et the studs take any abuse
I could see copper being a problem, have to think about that, or just use
brass/bronze etc
