Award

I was asked to make this award for a Client in Orlando, Florida. It is formed with 32oz copper made 12" wide X 11" tall and 4" deep. I had a local guy do the engraving with his sandblaster, make the wood base, and lacquer it. This is the same guy: Rich Hawthorne who help make my logo plaque. His web site is: www.clearviewartworks.com/

With overnight freight this cost them $685 delivered.

7th Year 'Copper' Anniversary Gift Frame

I was asked to make this copper picture frame for their 7th year anniversary gift (copper), so he could surprise his Sweetie with it in time. He also wanted it engraved at the bottom with the phrase: 'L.O.V.E. never fails', that had special meaning for them.

He had a large black & white digital photo they liked from their wedding day, so I did some image editing to give this a little color to enhance the image. I added a sepia tone and colored in the bouquet. He liked what I did and had me order a large print of this on an aluminum sheet to fit in this copper frame.

The outside measure of this copper frame is 28" X 38".

The cost was:
$377.80 for the 20" X 30" print on aluminum
+ $495 for the 11 sq' of 20oz copper frame
+ $200 for the engraving
= $1,072.80 total cost

He is local, so no freight charges apply.

The engraving was done by: Rich Hawthorne. His web site is: www.clearviewartworks.com/

Copper Counter Tops

Copper Mailboxes

This is a copper sewing machine headstone for our client Chris Freybler of Custom Engraving, who had made the name plaque. Their Ph# 616-878-5644 in Byron Center, Michigan. This was built for one of their clients.

This was a small headstone with the base of just 18" X 18" X 2" tall. The sewing machine table is 8" wide. The legs are made with a thick 48oz copper for strength. I had located a molded resin figure for the sewing machine that I covered with a thin 12oz copper and hammered it over the form to show the shape and detail you see here. The silver looking plate on the left side of this sewing machine is stainless steel.

Client: Matovich - Lighted Cupola w/Weathervane Mount 3/08

This is a matching cupola to a set of chimney caps made in my Tuscany arch style for Scott Matovich in Setauket, New York. I made this with a taller base to sit on the roof. I had to do something a bit different with working out a soft glow light inside and rig up the security flood light in the base. You can see more photos at: http://copper-by-design.com/cc/cp/Matovich.htm#Cupola

I experimented with several  different systems to see what would work best. I ended up using a set of 2 bulbs that reflected off a shield above and a larger reflector below in the base. I also made a third white reflector up in the center of the cupola. I also had to build a strong weathervane support pipe in the roof. This project took me longer to build as the larger chimney cap above.

Metal Face Mask

My Apprentice Chris Freedman & I designed and built this original metal face mask for a client with the stage name 'OD', who is a rapper located in Bossier, Louisiana. He ordered this to wear during his musical performances. It was made with 24oz copper sheet metal. We only charge $400 for this mask with shipping, even though it took us more than a hundred hours to design and build this after exchanging 37 e-mails and many digital images of the cardboard and aluminum mock-ups Chris had made. It was an interesting project, but not very profitable. Quite a departure from replacing gutters or building copper chimney caps we normally do.

$400 w/shipping to Bossier, Louisiana

It has a separate jaw piece that is designed to move up and down with his jaw. There are no teeth in the middle to allow for his mic to be very close to his lips.
