There is a nice feature on ESMW and Cut2SizeMetals.com on the Courier & Press website. I am not sure if it will be printed in the newspaper or the Evansville Business Journal magazine, but it is available online by clicking here or on the CourierPress.com logo above.
Ryan brought home the trophy in the Second Chance Race this weekend, racing for a packed house at Chandler Motorsports Park. “There were more racers there than anyone had seen in 15 years!” said Todd McGehee, Ryan’s Dad and crew chief. Although the team was disappointed that no points are awarded for the Second Chance race, Cut2SizeMetals.com was glad to be in the Winner’s Circle. Good Racing, Ryan; keep it up!

Less than 2 months into our sponsorship of the Cut2SizeMetals.com Jr. Dragster, Ryan McGehee and his team have broken into the Top 10 standings for total points. His father and crew chief, Todd McGehee, says:
“In all the years I’ve raced, I’ve never kept track of points, but he sure does!
We’re glad you’re keeping track, Ryan, and we’re proud of how you’ve done so far. You can see how Ryan stacks up against his fellow racers here.
Cut2SizeMetals.com is pleased to introduce the first member of the Cut2SizeMetals.com racing team – Ryan McGehee! Ryan competes in the NHRA Jr Drag Racing 8-9 year old, 12.90 racing class. We received Ryan’s acceptance letter last week (see right), and like us, he is all about immediate delivery. Ryan turned a semi-final showing over the weekend, and we know he’ll have more victories to report as the season progresses.You can see Ryan’s racing results here. Congratulations on a great start, Ryan!
We’ll detail the build up of Ryan’s car here soon, especially the aluminum, waterjet, and laser cut parts that make this machine fly. Until then, click the picture below to check out Ryan and his car.
As a copper supplier, we can offer you nearly any alloy of copper you need. We find that the vast majority of customers, though, use alloy 110.
Our copper sheet comes in alloy 110, and has a nominal copper composition of 99.90%. While most sheets of other materials are specified by the thickness, copper sheet is typically ordered by the ounces per square foot. As you can see from the table below, if you want copper that is .0216″ thick, you would order 16 oz copper sheet.
| Decimal Equivalent | Ounces per Sq. Ft. | Sheet Size in Inches | Pounds per Sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| .0216 | 16 | 36 x 96 | 24.00 |
| .0216 | 16 | 36 x 120 | 30.00 |
| .0323 | 24 | 36 x 96 | 35.52 |
| .0431 | 32 | 36 x 96 | 48.00 |
| .0647 | 48 | 36 x 96 | 72.00 |
| .094 | 3/32 | 36 x 96 | 105.00 |
| .125 | 1/8 | 36 x 96 | 139.00 |
Rectangular Copper Bar, Square Copper Bar, and Copper Round are available in the square edge hard drawn Alloy 110 and come in 12′ lengths.They are also known as ETP copper bar or bus bar.
We are proud to post some pictures of our recent custom work for the new Aria Resort and Casino, in the new City Center development in Las Vegas. Aria is a central feature of the City Center, with curvilinear glass towers, over 4000 rooms, and 150,000 square feet of casino. The City Center area encompasses 76 acres, and at $11 billion, is the largest privately financed development in the United States.
The Motif Grills in the first two pictures are polished aluminum with plated cold-rolled steel centers that have been clear-coated. Outside loops were formed by hand; the inner loops were cut on our vertical router.
The remaining four pictures show the Diffusers laser cut from 11 ga cold-rolled steel. They were tack-welded together, powder-coated, and assembled in wood frames in the field.

We enjoy doing architectural and artistic metal projects (see a few of them here), and so we like to share others we find in our travels. If you’ve ever been to Powell’s Books in downtown Portland, you’ve seen this stainless steel, titanium, and bronze sculpture by Peter Beeman. Intended to represent the “infrastructure, energy, and vibrancy of Portland, this sculpture is made complete when a passer-by gives the pendulum a push.” We couldn’t get it to budge, but it’s still a pretty dramatic addition to a busy downtown intersection.

We were featured in the (very) niche trade magazine Modern Metals in January, along with our software partner Compusource. In addition to seeing a cool shot of our brass round bars, you can read how we worked together to make the website. If for some reason you’re not a regular subscriber, the article is here.
