Well, 7+ years of grudgingly enduring the decrepit and dysfunctional screens on our fire place have finally and happily come to an end. In the intervening years, there were a lot of false starts (including a completely misguided attempt at forging screens myself) and we never found anything suitable off-the-shelf.
After meeting several weeks ago with Howie H., a welder, blacksmith, and steel artist, and giving him measurements and some ideas for a custom design, TLMW and I drove up to Flagstaff again today to pick up the finished fire screens.
