No power

So, when I was working on my car I didn’t think to unhook the battery because I wasn’t messing with anything electrical. Learnt my lesson.
Long story short I accidentally dropped some copper pipe I was working on, in the engine bay and it sparked a bit. I quickly rushed to unhook the negative on the battery. However, I now have absolutely no power to anything. No ignition power, locks, dome light, nothing. Battery has charge, parts store tested it and said the battery is fine. Yes I looked at all fuses and relays but still nothing. Right now I’m in the process of trying to find a blown fusible link along with starter wire. This is the only thing I can think of after researching.
I saw no smoke from anywhere, so I’m really lost where to look? I found a wire diagram of the starter wire and its fusible links but its up to 1993 cars. I own a 1995. Unless it’s the same thing?

So looking at the alternator wire schematic, I found two fusible links. If any of these are blown would that cause the car to have no power at all??

I suppose. If it was my car, I would remove all of the fusible linked wires from their source and test across each one for continuity. If you find any with no continuity, you could temporarily jump across that one and see if you achieve a power up response. I’ve never shorted a fusible link, so I don’t know what a shorted one looks like.
