If you want just a small amount, hobby lobby sells 26 ga. for small projects.

mcmaster.com sells what you need.

Nice work. Where do you get your copper from? I'm having a hard time finding it for anything close to a reasonable price....

[pintoshine]

@xenoonex69 There is no such thing as copper at a reasonable price. Copper is over $4 a lb on the commodities market. a 3'x4' sheet of .032 is over $250.

at the risk of teachin granny how to suck eggs if you use a soft faced hammer such as a leather mallet you'll find turning a lip easier. evertime you hit the copper between two hard faced surfaces you stretch it when you want to shrink it

Ouch, still, do you mind giving up your source? I would love to start making small things and need somewhere to get started... Thanks.
