3/27/08 Hello Dave, Thank you for your expert work. The silver plated tray was so badly damaged I didn't think it would ever look good again. Both pieces arrived in fine shape on the 25th. Our pewter coffee service has a couple of dents and I will send you a photo of the set to get an estimate after the summer is behind us. Many thanks, Peggy and Bob Z. 3/7/08 Dave, You did a Fabulous job..........just perfect.......Im so happy that I found you.I will be sending you a pic via email to see what you can do with silver plating. I want you to do all my business that I can handle. Thank you so much and I hope that we will do a lot of business to gather in the near future. Thank You, Jeri M. 2/23/08 Hi Dave, I received my ring back and it looks great! Thanks a lot. Kind regards, Sylvia 2/21/08 Got the finished goblet back today, and it looks great. Thanks so much. Lydia C. 2/19/08 Hi, Dave and Paula! Just wanted to let you know that the rattle just arrived (or rather, I just picked it up at the Post Office) and it's beautiful! You did a great job, so thanks. Thanks again, and all the best, Steve 2/15/08 I just received my spoons and they are glorious to behold! I am going to name you the Miracle Spoon Man! My spoons never looked as good as they do now even when I purchased them. Thank you so much for repairing my precious collection – it means more than you can imagine. Now I can pass them to my daughters proudly. Your work is a gift and an incredible talent! Thank you again. J.M. 2/12/08 Dear Dave, We received the coffee urn and it looks great. Thanks for you time and craftsmanship. Warm Regards, Brian W. 2/4/08 Hi. We received the piggy bank and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the quality of your work! The bank had very distinct signs of wear but arrived back looking like brand new. I had no idea you could accomplish such a perfect restoration. Thank you!! Barrett 1/23/08 Dave, The wine coolers arrived yesterday and they are beautifully restored. We have them displayed on the dining tables and we both detour through the dining room just to feast our eyes on them. I hope you’ll keep practicing your craft for many years, because I may send some other hollowware pieces your way. Have a safe and prosperous New Year! Patty M. 1/11/08 Dave, the trays look great...I'm really pleased with the results. In particular, the engraved tray has a lot of sentimental value to me, so I'm grateful you could fix it. Thanks for your help and fine service! Anne W. 1/2/08 The spoons are beautiful! Just in time for Christmas Dinner – your work is really quite remarkable! Have a Happy New Year! J.M. 12/28/07 Excellent, excellent,excellent! Thank you very much. Tim 12/10/07 Dave: The lid arrived in great shape---thanks for an excellent job. I've put three knives in the mail to make into letter openers-- Tim 11/28/07 Dear Dave- Thank you very much I did receive the salt and pepper shakers in time for my trip. M.C. B. 11/25/07 I received the baby fork and it looks GREAT! In fact, it looks better than new. Thank you for taking care of me once again. Nancy 11/8/07 Hi Dave, The little box arrived! How gorgeous! I bet it looked like that when it was first made. Thank you so much. Your fine work, FAST work and kind communications really made my day. Thanks again. And, enjoy the coming holidays.Best, Mady 11/6/07 OMG, It is Beautiful! They turned out better than I ever expected! I will pass the word around to all my Horsey Crowd. I think there could really be a market for this. I have never heard of this service avaliable, and am sure there are alot of others out there with a similar problem. Sherri 11/5/07 Hi--The cup arrived today, the mailman even stopped by a second time since we weren't home. It looks beautiful; I am very pleased. Thanks, David 10/30/07 Thanks Dave for fixing my goblets for me and getting them back in time for my anniversary!!! They look beautiful and so does the baby cup! Take care, Michelle 10/25/07 My spoons look FABULOUS!! What a gift you have and I am so glad you use your gift! I will be sending more stuff – as you might have guessed the baby spoons were not the only victims of the garbage disposal. Thank you so much! M. 10/24/07 Dear Mr. Friedman, Thank you for the lovely work you did in repairing my damaged items. Everything looks beautiful. Elizabeth G. 10/21/07 I received the spoon and it is beautiful. You do marvelous work. Thank You so much. Again, Thanks. Ruth B. 10/19/07 Dave…received the boxes yesterday with thanks. All looks very nice. Regards, Gary K. 10/15/07 Good morning Dave: The teapot arrived on Friday and thrilled with the result! You did an EXCELLENT job. When I get my act together, likely closer to the end of this month I will send you my favourite Edwardian Britanniaware teapot and you can tell me what you think. Sincere regards, Kate D. 10/13/07 Hi David, Today I received back the beautifol tray you resilvered. Thank you!! You did a wonderful job. Jaclyn K. 10/11/07 Dear Mr. Friedman, Please forgive my delay in thanking you for the beautiful job that you performed on my family pieces. I am thrilled! Can't believe how great every item looks. I am truly appreciative and will refer many to you as well as forward a few more relics for salvage. Can you recommend a polish that I can use on my flatware, etc.? I have never seen sterling shine with such a sheen! With great thanks and appreciation, Hally P. T. 10/2/07 My package arrived today, and everything looks beautiful. Thank you. Barbara H. 9/27/07 Hi Dave Just got back from London and my bowl had been delivered. You did a fabulous job and I'm really happy with the repair and will not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks once again. Sue 9/25/07 Hi! I finally picked up the tray at the post office and I swooned. I can't decide if I should somehow display it on the wall, or just keep it on a table where I can show it off. I'm glad I didn't toss it in the trash; and I'm relieved to know that if I'm ever in a similar situation again I may ship my little lovely off to you and you will work your magic. Thanks again for convincing me to keep it, and for your beautiful work. Best, Shelley 8/31/07 I received the silver today and think it looks great! I'm going to go ahead and send out a few other pieces... Bethany C. 8/28/07 Hi Dave, We just wanted to drop you a line thanking you for doing such a "FANTASTIC" job on our special cup for the wedding. WOW! it could not look better. You fixed it !!! We love it. Thank-you. I wish we could do the goblets too, maybe someday. Have a great Day. Sincerely, Sharon M. 8/17/07 Dave, I received my hatpin and pedestal holder. They are simply beautiful!!

(Los Angeles) 8/7/07 Hi David - - thanking you for an excellent restoration job on my solid copper candelabras. The way it gleams in reflected light is amazing. I am enjoying it! Joe F. 7/23/07 The dish looks beautiful! Thank you very much, and for doing it so promptly as well! Dottie H. Seely Lake, MT. 7/21/07 We received the egg cup by return mail yesterday. This was less than 7 days turnaround. We thank you very much for your swift, prompt, and excellent repair. This piece approaches 100 years old – and your craftsmanship was outstanding. Thanks again. David N. 7/14/07 Thank you so much. The repair is beautiful. I truly appreciate your fine workmanship. I have another piece to repair and will let you know when I can next bring it to you in Bellingham. Mary P. 7/7/07 Hello Mr. Friedman: The silver was received today and it is beautiful, thank you. I am sending you antique silver fish knives as well as forks for replating. In addition, the forks will need a new gold wash. Thank you again, Barry M. 6/28/07 Dear Mr. Friedman: I've been so busy this week, I forgot to let you know yesterday that your package arrived safely. Thank you SO MUCH for the beautiful work you did on my basket. It almost took my breath away when I opened it and gently ifted it out. It never looked so beautiful. How do you recommend I maintain the finish? It reminds me of the soft silver chalices and other altar finery that we use at my church. Old silver has such a lovely patina. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Christine V. 6/22/07 The spoon arrived today...what a wonderful job you did. Thank you so much. I'll gather up my other damaged pieces and get them to you. My many thanks....Susan B. 6/16/07 Dear Dave, My cruet set arrived today! It is beautiful! Thank you so very much! We will not be able to come up in July. However, as time permits I will continue to send you items. We are moving, so that puts a crimp in the silversmithing project! Thank you so much! I am so very grateful. I will look forward to talking with you in the future! Nancy N. 6/9/07 David- I'm very happy with the restoration you performed on my lamp. What metal was the base made of? thanxs again. Mike S. 6/1/07 Hi David, Just got the knives - they look wonderful. If I'd known how good they would look I would have sent the forks as well for polishing! What do you use for polish? Thanks very much, Lew S. 5/29/07 I just love my little box. I have a grand-daughter who ( when she gets a little older) will love it! Sent some pictures for you to view of other work projects... I thank you again for such a wonderful job well done. Carson P. 5/26/07 Dear Dave, Arrived today - they look great! Thanks again for the super quick turn-around. Jeff M. 5/18/07 Hi Dave…received both boxes with thanks. The nickel came out much better than I expected. I should have sent you the font collars, etc. as well. As for the silver, it’s a great plating job as well. You’ve certainly earned any future business of mine. Thanks for the quick turnaround as well. Regards, Gary K. 5/15/07 David, We received the spoons yesterday, and are thrilled with the results. I hope we never need your services again, but if so, it's great to have your skills available. I will spread the word among our friends, as well. Thanks, Jack B. 5/3/07 Dear Paula, Got them just a few minutes ago and they look beautiful. Tell Dave I said thank you so much. If you ever need a name to give as a reference, feel free to use me. Thanks, again. Faye G. 4/28/07 Silver arrived sat afternoon. Beautiful work. Thank you so very much. Will keep you in mind for other work. Don P. 4/15/07 Dave, I received back my re-plated banjo flange last Monday. I haven't had a chance yet to re-install it yet; but, the plating looks great! After installation, if you want, I'll send a before and after pic to you. Thanks for your quality plating work. Jim. S. ...more comments will be added as time permits! |
