Wow~ that's alotta mulah!~
I can imagine your shock

Perhaps if I might suggest something: get copper sheets, or thin plates and afix to the doors in some kind of pattern?

something that would mimic a multipaneled door with panes?
something like these. only with cut pieces of cooper sheeting
You could even do shapes versus squares if you wished

sorry but I don't know how to insert an image into a comment

What I was asking for was punched copper panels to put in cabinet doors- like the patterns you see on a pie safe only in copper and a pattern I haven't seen anywhere else.

I might even go for it if I hadn't just mailed off the check to pay Eliz's car off for her. She can pay me and save the interest but that was about half the money I have.

Um, please email me the specification and let me try to beat that.
That's egregious.

[chatrient]

egregious! you said egregious!
that in combination with your icon has me giggling like a mad woman!

YAY!!!

[wolfrick]

I even spelled it right. ;)

RP 1129 Copper
2 L/R 19 3/4 x 26 1/2 = $170 each
2 L/R 19 x 26 1/2 = $164.65 each
Subtotal $669.30
S/H $50.00
TOTAL $719.30

The pattern is Oak leaves and acorns... which I could do with a hammer and nail since a good pic is posted- providing I got the copper sheeting in the sizes I need. But I think it's the copper that cost so much- although tin would be around $400 too.

Would something like these suspended ceiling tiles work to cover the doors you've got and look like copper?

[wren08]

That would work- or I could make it work- but I had something very specific in mind with the punched copper.

[zenkitty_714]

Fucking hell, for that much money, I'd want cabinets that cook for me.

[wren08]

And that's just the copper panels- if I'd had to buy all the wood to make it, the cabinet would be that expensive already.
