I made a brass and copper Arts & Crafts firescreen in a class by Bill Studebaker. This class started out with a bang...well three of us banging ball pein hammers on copper metal sheets on metal anvils on a wooden table. Just a little loud! 
When every person taking other classes in the room stopped and stared, we decided we should move outside for that part. 
Good thing it was a nice day out.
It was great to work with metal and learn soldering, both of which I had never done before. Our class ran long, and we didn't get to finish our screens, but I am nearly there. I need to blacken the finish and add the actual screen. I'm very pleased with the results considering I am a complete novice with these materials and methods. I plan to buy a soldering tool soon. This has really opened up a lot of possibilities to me.
For size reference, here it is in the Heritage, though it isn't meant for this house.
