Hello Chris,

If you want to make a resistance calc for yourself
the formula is:

R = rho L/A   where:

R is the resistance.
rho is the  resistivity of copper (units Ohm meters or Ohm centimeters)
L is the length.
A is the cross section area

Or if you would like a ready made free DC resistance calculator based
on the above formula, you can find one here, that includes copper
and a variety of other base materials:
