We celebrated another year and another great Client Dinner! This year we celebrated our 8th Annual Client Appreciation Dinner on June 16, 2017. It was a beautiful evening filled with demonstrations by the Compass team, the attendee’s ooooo’d and aaaaaa’d about the beautiful staircase in process. The power hammer got some accolades with it’s ability to mash coins in a single blow, fusing them together!
The 1930’s hit and miss engine decided to miss all evening and could not start, no matter who cranked. So a hand crank was created and 5 gallons of homemade strawberry ice cream was churned by hand, it was delicious, topped with Amos’s wife Susie’s famous Whoopie Pies.

The Friday evening silent auction raised almost $1000 for the Clinic for Special Children. The Benefit auction by the community on Saturday June 17, 2017, raised over $300,000 for the clinic!

Here is what some of the Clients who came to the event this year had to say:
– New machine forging was impressive. I liked your Penny and Nickel trick!
– The spiral stairway was outstanding! We also enjoyed seeing you make the basket. It was a great evening!
– Watching the techniques made it seem so simple, even though we know it takes so much practice.
– The demonstrations were very interesting. To see how the metal gets worked in different shapes textures and for the different pieces that are made.
– Major press, twisted basked, spiral staircase engineering was very impressive.
– Thank you for hosting, I really enjoyed the presentation. Your work is beautiful!
– I love the tulip and how it was made.
– Demonstrations were most memorable, especially the spiral staircase.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
