What a beautiful screen. I would love to see the front view and the details of the flowers! of course a free standing screen makes sense.Janet R.

Sorry to not have gotten back to you on your questions. Let's see if I can answer all the questions to date. Rick, the dimensions for this screen are approximate because I didn't keep track of this commission like I normally do. The screen was quite large and is approximately 3 feet tall by 5 feet wide.

Janet, I uploaded this image just for you. I hope it gives you a better idea of what I created. Here's another detail of the center flower section showing the copper and brass laminates.

Paula, I got a big roll of this solid brass screen many years ago from a steel salvage yard. Not sure where you can get it today, but I'm sure it is available if you search google for "brass screen."

Bill, I think I already answered your question in the other post where this thread came from.

Jim, the gradual taper of the cattail blades was cut with a bandsaw and the cut marks were removed with a flapper wheel on a hand grinder. I usually make these types of grass blades from angle iron. However, since these were made from copper, it was cheaper to use solid copper flat bar and bend them with a "V" swage block.

Jake, the screen is held in place by the crimping into a channel which is built into the front of the screen. You can see the channel on the side view above.

Thank you all for the comments! I appreciate the dialog and hope that my explanations have been helpful.

Great use of color combination etc. I'd like to see how you got that gradual taper on the green angle iron...

Thumbs Up
