i purchased a copper tsuba for my fully functional katana, is this a strong enough material?

Ok I think you mean a sword scabbard? Yes copper tubing would be fine, not ideal but I do not what level of the art are you?

what are your favorite thrift/antique stores for vintage clothing?

I love thrift/antique stores that have vintage clothing but i dont like spending a lot of money. I also love traveling so I would be willing to visit it as long as it is in the United States. Do you find that cities or small towns have better thrift stores?

This might sound icky, but I have found some really nice stuff at Goodwill. There are other miscellaneous thrift stores, but they are typically more expensive. Goodwill is cheap! Larger urban areas definitely have more choice.
