Below are comments that we have received
from some of our clients. Few items in our product line are inexpensive,
and since in most instances it is impractical to see things in
person, these comments have been included here with the thought
that they might help you decide if JP-Tinsmith is the sort of
company with which you would feel comfortable doing business.
We are always more than willing to discuss any questions that
you might have in this regard. |

- "The package arrived today! The shades and holders
arrived in great condition and the fit [of the custom-machined
chimney/shade holders] is perfect. The lamps finally look the
way they were meant too, and I couldn't be more pleased! Thanks
for everything; it certainly has been a pleasure working with
you on this project. I have a couple of solar lamps I might decide
to have work done to someday - if so, I will definitely be in
contact with you."

- "We arrived today with our lamp [a restored oil-burning
table lamp] and opened the box. We put the lamp together and
it is simply beautiful. It is really stunning. We have placed
the lamp in our South parlor and it looks very good indeed on
our center table. It looks so good that we now want to add a
lamp to the adjoining parlor (the North Parlor) - to its center
table. Thank you for an incredibly beautiful lamp."

- "The lamp [solar hanging harp lamp] is hung and looks
great. I enjoy the process of hanging the lamp as it really allows
me to admire and more fully appreciate your precise metalworking
skills. My wife likes the lamp as well. This is quite a complement
as she seldom agrees with my tastes! She liked the first lamp
I bought (Argand 3-burner) from you also, so you are two for
two my friend! Thanks Joel."

- "I picked up the lamp this morning. All was in order
and nothing harmed in the shipping. Great packing job and what
a lamp! It really looks beautiful. I lit the lamp last night
for the first time. It worked flawlessly and once lit it was
fairly self-explanatory. I am very happy with the function. I
am extremely pleased with your work and the fact that I now own
probably one of merely a handful of working Cornelius solar lamps
in Virginia makes me very proud."

- "Thank you for supplying the replacement parts for
the solar lamps, and for your first class craftsmanship. As you
know, Im one of the few folks who still burn solar and
Argand lamps at home as a source of light and warmth. The restored
lamps work beautifully, and your chimneys and shades look beautiful
as well. Since theyre made with Pyrex glass, I can use
them without worry of cracking. Much obliged!"

- "I'm happy to report that our dining room project
is complete and your [Argand 4-burner] chandelier is the crowning
jewel! It is the wonder of all who see it. The house is open
for tours from time to time and we will be certain to share your
contact information with everyone interested in your work. It
is so rare to find individuals like you with such a commitment
to both the artistry and scholarship of your craft. Please keep
us posted on your new work including the table and mantle lamps."

- "Attached are a few pictures of the Argand 4-burner
chandelier hanging in the hallway. It has been well received
and a point of great discussion when the docents describe how
it worked in the old days. Joel, you are a true craftsman and
historian. The Iles House thanks you for doing such a beautiful
job in recreating a chandelier that is appropriate for this 1840s
house."

- "Perhaps you remember that Audrey and I purchased
from you the painted oil-burning version of the Argand annular
chandelier. It hangs outside our lamp room and presents a marvelous
entrance. Now, you have out-done yourself! The pair of brass
electrified lanterns with reflectors which you fabricated to
our specifications for the front of our 1810 house, are beyond
our expectations. The workmanship and attention to detail prove
that you are a master of your craft."

- "The solar lights [Solar 3-Burner Chandelier and
Solar Pendant Chandelier] are just to die for. We installed them
Wednesday and everything was packed great and went up like a
dream; you could not have done a better job. 1000% satisfied.
We are starting a small house in Indiana and I think they are
going to need some lighting so I will stay in touch. Thank you."
