IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT INNOVATION... NEW DOOR DESIGN
Traditional rural mailbox doors depend on a very impractical (and often frustrating) alliance between the door and the box itself. Either the door closes "too tight" or it simply will not close. And, if you bend it.. well, here's a practical solution I like.

GIANT CELESTIAL ECLIPSE
Latest yard sculpture from the Copper Shop... a 4' tall lunar eclipse birdfeeder. Mounted on 8x8 pressure treated and it moves in the breeze. Custom-made rendering from a smaller version I designed awhile ago as a hanging feeder.

CUSTOM COPPER BIRDFEEDERS
"For the birds..." New designs and concepts in the building of my custom copper birdfeeders. Whether your thoughts on birdfeeder designs are traditional or a bit "in the wild," a custom feeder is a timeless and long lasting treasure.

It pretty much goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), "Every piece that I make in the Secret Copper Shop is unique." When anyone crafts a piece by hand, it is - by its very nature - "different" than any other one that has been produced before. But, "uniqueness" at the Copper Shop actually goes well beyond that.

Copper Shop mailboxes require over 6-feet of soldered joints. I use copper sheet, rod, and tube on each. All mailboxes, including the hinges, are hand made here at the shop. Some get brass washers hidden in the hinge for strength.

A new copper mailbox will turn dark brown in about three months, nearly black after a year. It will gain its green verdigris in about two years. Color change depends on weather. Rain accelerates the change.

There are very few coppersmiths making mailboxes these days. On the internet and in stores, you are more likely looking at mass-produced imported reproductions.
