To celebrate another great year of creating interior Iron railings, exterior railings, Iron driveway gates, and aluminum property fences, the Compass Ironworks team got together for their Christmas Banquet.
The meal started off with fruit-jello, Cole slaw, dinner rolls and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. The main course was mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey breast, ham balls, corn and macaroni and cheese.
Desert was pumpkin rolls, ice-cream, and Susie’s favorite, Vanillo Pie. The conversation topics varied, ranging from Iron railing designs and shop layouts, to family and Christmas plans!
A particular highlight to the night was the trivia questions, which ranged from “how much do you know about particular jobs” to “how well do you know your colleagues”! The questions were:

  • How many miles are on Ken’s minivan?
  • How many times did we buy from our frequent vendor?
  • How many truckloads of sand did we use this year?
  • What is Amos’s favorite fruit? (not bananas)
  • How much does Class 3 Bullet resistant 8’x 10’ panel weigh? How thick is the panel?
  • How many custom cast bronze rosettes are we getting for the Saker project?
  • What country are they coming from?
  • How long will they be in transit?
  • How many miles has Adam put on his truck this year?
  • How many jobs did we complete this year?
  • How many jobs do we have going on right now?
  • Is Amos’s birthday the day before, or the day after his wedding anniversary?
  • How many speeding tickets did Daphne get this year?
  • How many puppies did Pop sell this year?
  • How many weddings did Compass Ironwork employees have collectively this year?

After the delicious meal, all Compass Ironworks team members received a metal campfire grill. Additionally, everyone that attended received a Compass Ironworks umbrella. These umbrellas are the latest design. This new style umbrella actually inverts to trap any water that would otherwise shake out; preventing the holder from getting wet. And, as an extension of appreciation for Amos and his dedication to his employees, the Compass ironworks team presented Amos with a flag croquet game that he can enjoy with his entire family.
After an enjoyable evening of eating, games, socializing, and gifts, the Compass Ironworks team closed out the great year of 2020.

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!
