Hi Sharon,

A year and a half ago you crafted a hood and apron sink for my log home in Thonotosassa, Florida. I am happy to tell you that they accent my home beautifully as you can see in the attached photos. Everyone falls in love with them at first sight.

Thanks,

Your Sink and Our Kitchen

We love our farmhouse sink - and here it is in "Westchester Home and Garden" magazine.

At the end there is a list of "Internet Finds" and HandcraftedMetal.com is mentioned.

Thanks again for the great work.

Dear Pam,

Our beautiful copper hood has now been installed and has received so many favorable comments! It is truly the focal point of the kitchen and everyone is very impressed by the workmanship.

Just wanted you to know we are very happy with our hood, and thank you very much for all your help and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Sharon, Pam, and Kandy,

We would like to thank you for all your kindness and help in ordering our new hood and sink. They are beautiful. Often times the nice people are overlooked in this world and we just wanted you to know we appreciate you helping to make our kitchen remodel a success. It was a pleasure working with you and we have passed your name on to several people already.

Kandy,

BIG sink arrived today. WOW

Not only was the sink wonderful, but, I now have a supply of lumber that it was extremely well packed in. I reall need an adjective above WOW but can not think of one.

Interesting comments around the house:
Our 14 year old daughter was "no big deal" and said she had seen it many times on the internet as we were ordering it.
The wife is well pleased and then some. (the one that counts)
My Mother-in-law (a good one) gave rave reviews and continues to comment. She hopes she is still in town for the hood arrival.

Anyway, tell everyone thanks and well done!

Kandy,

Here is the photo of the copper hood you helped me with for the Pennell Residence in San Diego. I love the zinc countertops – they are gorgeous! What’s the maintenance on zinc countertops?

Thanks for sending the photos.

Kathy Coffman April 30, 2008

Dear Pam and David,

I'm sending you a link to our web site so you can see how beautiful the hoods look! We couldn't be more pleased. The first picture on the web site is of the steel hood and the second picture (go to Photo Gallery) is of the copper hood. As you can see, they are stunning. Thanks so much for working with me. I'll be back for future business. :)

Katrine Formby April 16, 2008

Hello Kandy,

I apologize for forgetting to send you some finished photos as I promised. Thanks for reminding me. The bar top has been performing wonderfully, and is still getting whistles and wows. Here are a couple pics.

Thanks again, and hopefully there will be another one sometime.

Hi Kandy,

Well, my sink is finally in and I have been enjoying it non-stop!I want to thank you and everyone there for doing such a great job and being so nice about everything. I've included a picture of it installed in the corner of my new kitchen.

If anyone seeking your business wants to get in touch with a past customer, please feel free to give them my e-mail. I love showing off my new sink to all my friends, and would even like to show it to a few strangers too!

Thanks again!

Becky November 14, 2007

Hello Kandy,

I have finally gotten pics from the project we worked on a year ago.

The hood and sink are beautiful!

Hope all is well with you...

My New Valinet Hood

I got to see the hood Friday with Mr. V. he is a quiet, serious man and as we unwrapped the hood he took it all in. He said many times he has had to order from the pictures and was always prepared to be disappointed, but this time was different. he was so pleased and excited. The hood truly is a work of art and beautifully fabricated. Thanks so much to all who participated

Kay June 2, 2007

Hi Kandy,

I thought you should see these shots. These two kitchens turned out very beautiful and our clients love the copper hoods! You also made the copper sink in Magnolia’s. I may have another client coming your way soon.

Enjoy!

Serena Lehn March 31, 2007

Hey Kandy;

Hood came in on Wed. The owners loved it. Got a pic of a hot young guy for ya.

Todd May 24, 2007

Hi Sharon,

Thought everyone around there might like to see that crazy hood I designed around the circular window, installed in the finished kitchen. These are just digital snaps, nothing professional, but nevertheless, the hood looks GOOD.

Bart July 5, 2006

"Handcrafted" crew:

As I told Peggy on the phone, I recieved my island hood today. It's all installed now - AND THAT THING TURNED OUT NICE!!!!! It was worth the wait! "Yuh all dunn GOOD!"

My wife about fell over when she saw it... I think she must have spent half the evening in there gawking at it.

It really "puts the candles on the cake" for the kitchen. Darn thing comes close to making the 40 billion dollars worth of granite & tile in there look too "cheap" to be in the same room with it!

Dear Handcrafted Metal Staff:

The countertop is beautiful and thanks to your craftsmanship, installation was accomplished without any problems. We were nervous about buying something like this without physically seeing it and then having to ship it to NJ but it arrived in great shape. Thank you for your attention to detail and everyone that comes into my kitchen loves the way it dances in the light. It is wonderful. I am attaching a picture for you to see the countertop and my dog Hershey.

Thank you again for your fine craftsmanship.

Dear Handcrafted Metal,

I just wanted to write you and let you know how pleased I am with my new apron copper sink. It arrived packaged in a very secure wood crate that assured it would arrive in perfect condition. The sink is truly a work of art and shows exacting craftsmanship. The finish is excellent and will compliment the new kitchen we are putting together. Thank you for providing an excellent product at a very reasonable price.

Sincerely,
John Diddams

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

I am a very satisfied customer.

I love my copper sink!! It is the focal point of my kitchen. The black galaxy large fleck granite was installed... it makes the sink come alive!

The experience and professionalism of the staff made this online shopping experience a great one! Please pass my name onto anyone in the southern Ohio area who would like to stop and see this shining example of craftsmanship.

Jeanne was awesome to work with!!

Sincerely,

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!

Mary Kay Davignon: 9 Mar 2005

Jeanie and Peggy!

The sink made it this afternoon!! Oh my gosh, it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is such a work of art! I love it and my new kitchen will be very classy and gorgeous with the addition of it! I will send you a picture when the kitchen is done. It will be quite a long time... maybe summer, so be patient! Thank you so very much again!! I can't say enough great things about dealing with your company... everyone there was so great to deal with, very pleasant, professional, and knowing it was a family business feel made it very nice too! The craftsmanship is beautiful and it is just incredible. I am so impress. I love it and can't wait to see how it looks in my new house!! Thank you again for my new piece of art. :)

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 Metal 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!

L. Gauer: September 14, 2004

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.

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,

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,

Hi folks!

The sink is in!!!!! What a beauty! It is truly more gorgeous than I even expected. I am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so very much from the heart.

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."

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,
