They are not difficult to make.
I made two pieces of iron to mold the copper around. One just a little bit smaller than the other, the bigger one is for the lid.
Some sheet copper from the junk yard.
Cut and bend the corners.
A quick dip in muratic (sp) acid.
Solder.
Trim the lid a little and sand the edges smooth.
Then bend the thing to a snug fit to secure the lid.
These are my first two, the corners should get better with practice.
