I found these horseshoe door rollers in a pile off wood from our last barn we recovered. I was originally going to make another mirror hanging on the runners. Then while watching TV it came to me.. I milled the lumber down and cut the grove in the back for the TV, glued it and let sit. I took the rollers and the runner and gave them a very light sanding just to take the flaky rust off. I didn't want to remove all the great patina that was on them. I wiped them down with a damp rag and then used a spray poly to seal in all that goodness. Copper straps were added to the back of the frame so that it would be secured to the wall so as not to add any pressure to the TV. The runner was mounted to a separate board. It was tucked in behind the rollers and then lifted into place and secured. It gives the appearance that it is actually hanging but all three pieces are secured separately. This piece would look great in your living room, restaurant, hotel or any other spot going for a country or rustic look

For Custom Copper Boot TrayI am very happy with the product - also with the professionalism of Terrance Dolan, his communication and service to me. This was well done and I am not an easy customer. The experience with Custom made was very good - they got us together, got the transaction done, and let me talk with the artist/ shipper - all went well. I am very happy with custom made. Thanks. [this, by the way is in stark contrast to very recent experience with Etsy on transport error and a bigger mess with EBAY - the latter being impossible - so by yourselves you are very good, in comparison, you are outstanding.]

For Custom Copper Trays Copper TraysI think this is a duplicate review, but Terrance created a gorgeous copper tray for my cabinet, that is a great reflection on my orchids. I sent him a photo, as well. Thanks for coordinating the order.

For Copper bay window plant trayI provided Terence with the specs for a copper tray to place our plants in a bay window. The process worked very well and we are very happy with the copper tray. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for custom copper work. I was able to pick up the tray as I live about an hour from Terence. Again, great work... Thanks...

For Copper Planter TrayI ordered a large copper tray; from start to finish this was a great experience. Getting something custom made just gives the item so much more meaning than the purpose the item is for. Very shortly after I ordered I received a proposal, there was a suggestion to adjust the height to give the item more rigidity. The final product was absolutely beautiful and delivered with the utmost care.

For Copper Planter TrayEverything about our purchase of two copper planter trays was outstanding. The website made it clear that this was exactly what we had been unsuccessfully searching for, especially since Mr. Dolan was willing to make them to our custom measurements. His reply with a proposal was sent in less than a day, the price was more than reasonable compared to others, and the finished products were in our hands in ten days. The trays are expertly crafted, strong heavy gauge copper, and a beautiful addition to our window sills.

For Copper Planter TrayWe are thrilled with the custom copper trays made by Mr. Terence Dolan. His craftsmanship is superb. He confirmed several times different aspects of the project to ensure precision. The product was flawless and beautiful. Well packaged. And remarkably quickly completed. Couldn’t be happier.

For Copper Planter TrayThe copper trays are exactly what I hoped they would be. Wonderful workmanship and careful attention to my specific requests. The finished items are gorgeous. Terence was easy and professional to work with. He gladly reshipped my package when FedEx didn't do their job the first time around. These trays will provide the final decorative exclamation point to my recently remodeled workspace. Thank you for your excellent work and for your helpful cooperative service. Best, Gregory Wylie

For Copper Planter TrayI couldn't be happier with the 4 copper planter trays I received. They arrived promptly in very protective packaging, are exactly as ordered and are very well made. The copper is thick enough that they are quite sturdy. However, I was concerned about one large tray since it will not be sitting on a solid surface but supported by 4 thin boards. When I messaged Mr Dolan whether he thought the copper might tend to sag in that situation, he responded that he wasn't sure but offered to include a backer board and that has done the job. The cost of the trays seems very reasonable to me since earlier I had one made by a local craftsman who charged over twice as much.

For Copper Planter TrayI ordered a custom copper planter tray for an oddly sized pot. Terence was really easy to work with and the end product is lovely and fits perfectly where it was supposed to.
