Lacey,
Check on the DagForum here for the topic “Where can I buy some plates?” Near the bottom of the discussion I posted some info and a picture of the shear I use.

If your copper isn’t thick like mine (18 gauge), you won’t need a shear as massive as I use.
Good luck and welcome to the world and art of daguerreotypy.
Cheers,
