I made my heat shields out of brass plate. for the horizontal shield I tapped into the metal plate that supports the bricks above the stove.

Do you have this image in the gallery or pics thread or anything? It would be so great if there was a picture thread of all mantel shields and etc, every time I go looking for them they are in so many different places! Yours was one I was sure I had seen and could not find it again till you posted it again! Looks nice, by the way.

To the Original Poster, if you are interested in that home saver shield it's available online for 32$ here

I had been kinda wondering if I could get one and invert it into one at a 45 degree angle because I will need a shield on my lowest portion of mantel trim. I can probably do it at either the top of my insert surround or below the trim I guess depending on how the surround works. But the Original Poster here seems to be more capable of fabricating his own than I am!
