I'm building another spiral and this ones going to be out of copper. I need stock that's 1" thick and about 3" wide by 3" long.
Here's a pic of the first one if you missed it.

Sweet block dude!

Bigblockk has got it right. That's a great place to deal with.

Spirals are a B***h to do with a mill...must be nice to have access to a cnc.;)

Because I had a scrap piece of aluminum around. It only cost me $4 for the barbs.
