In February of 2016 I made this is a set of 10 post caps to fit a post 8.5" X 8.5" These were for a local Client Jennifer Mele. The total weight of these 20oz copper post caps was 14.4#, or 11.52 sq' in all. The total cost was $511 for this set, or $51.10 each. I also included 40 bronze nails, but you may just opt to glue them in place with Gorilla Glue that expands to help full the gaps and make them a little more dent resistant. They are not perfect at close inspection, as with anything hand made.

A set of 10 6X6 post caps August of 2013

Copper gutter Client added this copper clad handrail July of 2013

This is an example of a railing rebuild I was contracted to to do back through August and September of 2012, with copper covering these 4X4 posts and the top handrails. I first stripped down all the cedar railing spanning these posts and the cheap rusty steel wall cover they had.

I spend over 60 hours sanding off their cedar boards one at a time, as shown here. Then treated them with ting oil. It would have been more practical to just replace them all with new boards, as most any other contractor would have done, but I hate to see wasted materials. Very few were so damaged I needed to replace them, but I had discarded any rotted boards. This sanding gave me a very clear evaluation of each board.

The next 2 pics shows the completed project with 20oz copper wrapping over the 4X4 beams and top cap railing boards with a drip edge. The black rope you see to the left was to secure my canopy that was on their deck for a full month while I did this work for them.

Post Covers:

This is one of a pair of post caps for a local client in Northwest Portland back in May of 2012. Their Builder had actually left these rear balcony columns uncovered and wide open filling with rain water and debris.

Here is some hand railing work we did for our Client in S. W. Portland Oregon up in the West Hills back in March of 2012 to work on the back patio, and called back to do the front railing in February of 2013. His name is Stewart Saunders. They were selling their house, so I had to converse with him through e-mail, since they had already moved to the Chicago area.

8/2010 These are a set of 18 post caps to fit over 6X6 posts for a total cost of $450 w/o freight. We were contracted to make to fit the Clients sample post they gave me in person while here to drop off the $2k deposit for other work as well on 4/15/10.

This project was in conjunction with an 8' long chimney cap, 6' long fire pit cover, and a fancy gazebo roof cap w/finial for our client: Bernard & Debby Birger in Collinsville, Illinois, who drove all the way here to visit their Daughter's new baby in Bend Oregon, and bring these back in their motorcycle trailer. I had made the recommendation to make these wider than the posts, so they helped shield the post from the weather a bit better.

This is one of the first railing caps I was contracted to replace with copper some time before the year 2000.
