Copper must be cheap where you live. To get the same about of 3/8" copper tubing here is about $50.

On a side note, this little story. I had my wortchiller sitting in the sun out in my backyard. You could see it from the street. The news here has had stories about people stealing copper from job sites and such. My wife, the sweet heart, brought my wortchiller inside as she was afraid some one might steal it for the copper.
