They say you can’t make old friends—and this weekend, we’re celebrating the birthday of one of Federal Metal’s favorites. Dave DelPropost, owner of Advance Bronze and a leader in centrifugally cast bronze, has been a trusted friend and industry partner for years.
Happy birthday, Dave! Hope you get to spend it with family and friends—and maybe a little time on the Harley.

It`s Monday! Meet Isaac.⠀
⠀
As a sorter, Isaac is one of the first lines of defense in maintaining the quality of our #metal mix. He brings precision and consistency to a job where small details make a big difference. Hailing from Liberia, we`re proud that Isaac is one of many first-generation Americans making a difference at Federal Metal.

In Oxfordshire, England, this couple built an avant-garde home entirely clad in #copper, named "Copper Bottom." Beyond its striking appearance, the copper cladding provides durability and solar protection. The eco-friendly design includes photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps, making the home energy-efficient and inspiring for #sustainable architecture enthusiasts. ⠀

Did You Know?
A 5-pound cylinder of ultra-pure #copper 12" long is a key element in the "atomic" clocks—accurate to one part in a trillion—employed by the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., and the Global Positioning System in Colorado Springs.

It’s Monday! Meet Rich.⠀
⠀
If you ever need directions, Rich is your guy. Seriously—he’s got a photographic memory for maps. Friendly, reliable, and sharp as they come, just the kind of person it takes to accurately receive more than 1.5 million pounds of #recycled material every week.⠀
⠀
We’re lucky to have him on the team!

#Copper just posted its sharpest monthly drop since mid-2022—down over 8% in April. Whether it’s a short-term reaction or a Dr. Copper early warning, we’re watching closely. The #metal usually knows before the rest of us do!
