My Valley Forge Experience

[thediamond]

Alton....your package arrived today. Well.....what can I say?

Alton graciously offered to complete my Szamboti (+ 8 shafts) by furnishing me with a further 3 hand made caps with maple and teal stitch at his expense. If that wasn't enough....he has made some tip shapers for me with 'The Diamond' inscribed into the base with a small diamond in the middle!!!! He has done a few for Sanjay Varma too with 'Sanjay'.

Alton.....you are a class act my friend. Steak is on me next year at SBE.

I had a great time at the show, it was really nice to finally put some faces with some names & meet some other Az'ers.

One of the highlights for me was meeting Alton. Your level of passion for your work go unmatched in the AZ world. Yiou are truly an inspiration to those that meet you! :bow-down:

This is my 2nd year I when to VF. It was a pleasure to meet you in person. I enjoy talking with you on phone. Your work really amazed me with all those detail and time you put in. I still have all of those unfinish pieces you sold as for my collection:thumbup:. Keep up the good work.
