Hey there;

Just wanted to let you know that I took delivery of my new countertop yesterday, and all I can say is: Wow! It looks fantastic, fits beautifully, and was packaged and shipped impeccably. Thank you for a fast, smooth and friendly buying experience, and for the great communication throughout. I'll send pictures of my kitchen island with the new top as soon as I finish the cabinetry; and I'll be letting everyone know that yours is the number-one name in custom metalwork.

Sincerely,
R. Buzard: 22 Jul 2005


Dear Handcrafted Metal Staff,

I was the first contact on the Fleming job. Our company, Third Street Studios designed and built their new kitchen. I was thrilled when I found your website ...the Flemings were not going to be satisfied with "just any hood." But we are all REALLY THRILLED with the actual hood. It's absolutely gorgeous, including the inside!

Hopefully, we will have occassion to use you again. Thank you so much for the great work!

Sincerely,
L. Cassone: 8 Jun 2005


Hi-

Just wanted to let you know the sink arrived Monday. It's exactly what I wanted. Great job, and excellent packing!

Hey Eric, Pam, Peggy -

Wow, what a great job on the sink. The Artist's "A" looks even better than I imagined; awesome job on the inside radius of the bowl and the outside radius of the front panel. The light hammer on the front breaks up the area around the "A" just enough. Thanks for that suggestion. Nice job on the finish. It's rare to find a fab shop that could exceed anyone's expectations. You guys have it when it comes to copper fabrication and finishing.

Peggy -

My new copper hood has been installed for several days and we absolutely love it. We had a professional electrical appliance installer to do the whole installation. When he finished the job and stood back to admire his work, he said, "I have never seen a hood as handsome and as well made as this one".

When one buys a fairly big ticket item on the internet from a supplier that one knows nothing about, I think it is a pretty big gamble. I had seen no example of your work (other than the photographs on your website), I knew nothing of your company, and the hood would become the focal point of my newly redone kitchen.

As soon as I opened the shipping crate I knew I had made a good decision. The hood simply shouted good craftsmanship, good design, top quality and heavy duty materials. Now that it is installed, the shout is amplified.

My wife is totally pleased with both the appearence and performance of our new hood.

Thanks for producing a top quality product and providing helpful, courteous, knowledgeable service during the entire process, from initial contact through design, fabrication and shipping.

Here's hoping you and Handcrafted Metals satisfy many, many customers in this new year.

Sincerely,

Dear Handcrafted staff,

I received my sink today,I was struck by the obvious care and time it must have taken to package my shipment in such a well constructed crate. People now days are quick to complain about things, but seldom stop to praise a job well done. Let me PRAISE all of the staff at Handcrafted Metal,from Jeanie who took my order to the craftsmen who fabricated my beautiful sink! My father always told me to take pride in my work, the world needs more people with PRIDE like you.

Thank You,

To Pam and everyone who helped make and design my sink:

It's just the most beautiful item I've ever owned and it so changed the look of my kitchen without changing cabinets, appliances, and everything else. It actually saved me money by not having to remodel everything. The sink is the focal point of my kitchen now.

I Love It So! Thank You Again!

Pictures are for you to keep.

Still want to meet you, if and when Ben and I get to Austin.

Planning on building a winter home in Arizona in the next few years and I already know I want a copper sink or island countertop or something in copper. Will keep in touch.

You can use my sink to show people from this area if you like (Northern California).

Thanks Again and Keep Up The Excellent Work!

It's beautiful!!!!!!!!

Just a quick note to let you know that the sink is gorgeous. We love it.

We are so glad we found your web site and purchased from you. We have seen other farmer's sinks in copper, but they don't have the hefty feel of your product. Most of the others we saw were priced in the same range, and often higher. Ours, however, is much larger than the others with 2 extra deep bowls.

Again fantastic job!!!

Hello,

We purchased our countertops from you for a kitchen re-model about a year ago. Now that we are finished I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful and beautiful work you did. Everyone that sees the kitchen always tells us how wonderful the countertops are. We wanted something other than granite or marble, something that would stand out. And again thank you for the wonderful work.

Sharon, David and Pam,

Finally got things done. We had a kitchen warming party last Sunday. People brought things to cook or bake and we really gave the place a work out. Many compliments and questions about the stainless countertops. I referred them to your website for more info.

The color combination turned out great. Maple cabinets, jitterbugged stainless, and Brazilian rosewood flooring. Those new items mixed well with our stainless, black, and white appliances.

Thanks for your work. I'm sure that I'll be referring people to you all the time.

If any of you are in the bay area, please look us up. we're not far from the UC berkeley campus and the BART train that connects to SF.

Also, if someone local wants to see your counters in place, just let me know and I'd be happy to show them.

Take care.

Have a safe holiday season.

Thanks

I received my stainless steel sink a few months ago and thought it was absolutely beautiful. It was meticulously crafted and I was so pleased with myself because I bought it sight unseen, except a picture over the internet but it was better than I expected. I also loved the handwritten note thanking me for the order and to enjoy the sink. Nice touch! I have been meaning to write and thank you but yesterday, they actually installed the sink and it is wonderful. It will be the first thing I show everyone in our new kitchen!

Thank you very much. This was the easiest transaction I have ever made.

Hi Pam,

We installed the sink last weekend, and it fit like a glove. I was worried, even though you weren't. Guess that's the school teacher in you, to let me find out for myself regardless of what my measurements were. Please thank your husband for me, be sure to go on a "date" soon.

Regards,

Erik et al,

The new sink arrived just before we left on vacation, so I haven't had a chance to let you know how pleased we are. It still isn't plumbed, so we can't use it yet, however the contractor has installed it in the new counter soon after it arrived. We couldn't be more pleased! The workmanship is superb, and I can't imagine anyone who knows about you guys getting a copper sink anywhere else. My contractor, who has a copper sink in his home as well as one of his showrooms, was amazed. His has square soldered joints and is nowhere near as pleasing to look at or use. I bet you will sell more of them in this region after the word gets out.

If you have any skeptics like we were who like to fondle the merchandise prior to sending payment to an unknown entity, send them my way; I'll set them straight.

Thank You,

James (Jim) House

To Erik and the folks at Handcrafted Metal

I just received the stainless sink you crafted for me today. It is absolutely gorgeous and needless to say I am absolutely thrilled. I was also impressed with the way in which it was shipped in that 1/2" plywood crate (obviously no need to worry about careless package handlers here).

I want to thank you for your fine and personal service, your prompt delivery on completion of the sink, and most of all for your wonderful craftsmanship.

Sincerely,

Dear All,

My sink arrived today... it's GORGEOUS! Can't wait to use it. Can't wait to see it installed! I will send pictures.

Almost hugged the UPS guy.

Thanks.

Hello Everybody at Handcrafted -

The countertop arrived today — undamaged and very well crated as before. The fit is nearly perfect, closer than I had hoped for, and as with the last counter the craftsmanship is extremely impressive. The pieces fit together exactly...

Hello -

I just wanted to send a quick word of thanks for crafting our new copper sink. The quality and craftsmanship surpassed all expectations and it looks beautiful undermounted with our countertops. We feel it adds a unique charm to our kitchen that makes it stand out from the ordinary.

I also wanted to thank Pam for her hard work. She expedited our shipment so that we would receive our sink before the scheduled countertop installation. This will allow us to finish our kitchen two weeks ahead of schedule.

Thanks again for your excellent, handcrafted work.

Kindest Regards,

Megan says: "It's really beautiful. And so big!"

Brian says, "It's good!"

Even Bob, who cares little for such things, says "It really is gorgeous."

Thanks again,

Good afternoon David,

I just wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding job you did for us on the Ricci countertop. I have not had the opportunity to see the countertop installed yet, but hope to see it sometime next week.

I appreciate the extra effort you made to get the job out the door that weekend, along with finding a 5' piece that no one else in the country seemed to be able to locate.

We do hope to do more business with you in the future as the demand will surely be there as we will be pushing for more jobs of the same caliber. Your craftsmanship speaks for itself, and you should be very proud.

Please thank Pam and Eric for the time they spent managing the job the past few weeks. I especially thank you and your craftsman for the quality of work you put into this project. Thanks again!

Kind regards,
