We received the crab trap that I had ordered from your store. I have to say, the trap far exceeded my expectations! It will be a wonderful functional decoration for an upcoming “beach” wedding. It will be the receptacle for the Wedding cards. It was definitely a pleasure to deal with your company, I had e-mailed a question and it was answered immediately, and the trap came packaged very securely, and we are thrilled with the quality. We will share with friends your store and great service!
Sincerely,
Mary Ann
Thanks Scott. I appreciate your help and how you kept in touch with me on this stuff. You don't see that every day.

Scott,
Thanks again for the great ships wheel. As we discussed yesterday I was able to find the perfect solution for hanging. 
I
used two D-Ring Hangers on the back of the wheel and then just used two 30 lb. picture hangers. The best part is that it's easy to install and the mounts don't show!
Thanks, Greg

Hi Scott,
Everything arrived in great shape. This is our new "Irish toasting bell" (see attached to phone booth).
First you ring the bell to get everyone's attention (that part works fine, tested it myself, woke up my wife) then you read or make up a toast. Not exactly on the front of a yacht but the bell will go to good work.
Thanks again for the fast service and excellent quality!
Take care, Happy St. Patrick's Day,
David S.
Cass, in Humble TX, sent these great pictures showing what can be done with a spare solid stainless prop as inspiration and a little imagination!
Scott,
Wayzata and Minnetonka are suburbs west of Minneapolis. They are separated by two Lake Minnetonka bays, Wayzata and Gray's. We have pretty complete records of football games back to 1952, and one game in 1947 when Minnetonka was known as Excelsior. Last year, we played for the Minnesota state championship in the highest class. The trophy has room for 45 future game results.
Thank you for going out of your way to ship the bell so we could have the trophy in time for the September 1 game.

Hi Scott
Some shots of the binnacle dad made to house the wheel (solid oak). He is just fine-tuning the tapered plug that will support the wheel and allow it to be turned.
The marina building is open now but they are having a mini grand opening in the fall once fishing is done, for the fishermen.

Thanks again for the great customer service and helping out a member of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed here in Germany - all the best to you and your family - enjoy your 4th of July weekend!

Scott,
The fenders work great at the dock, and even when we had to get towed in side by side by a new speedboat. Since this is a full displacement hull, the front fenders are pretty well soaked after cruising around, so I just hang them up for a few days until they dry out. They still look and perform as when new. They're much more than just an ornament for me. Can't wait to get back in the water, but that usually is around May in our location. Dale
I just received the "Engine Order Telegraph" I ordered from you last week. It is gift for my son who has just been promoted to Lieutenant in the Coast Guard. I would like to tell you how pleased I am with the item and its quality.
Thank You,
Judy
Scott,
You guys are the best! I just purchased the one I wanted and paid you via paypal. You completely made my day!
Thank you so much,

Hey Scott, sorry it took awhile to get back to you, I'm active duty
military and had to deploy for a little while. But, we finally got the
plans all set for the helmets. And here it is. Turned out WAY better than I expected! the helmets on the engine blew everybody away! thanks again. And if you put it on your site, please let me know too, i want to keep a record of where she gets posted. talk to you soon! Russell Deep Sea!
Thank you Russell, for your service to our country, and sharing your creative Mark V helmet project with us! Scott
Love the quality of the product. I had to ask several questions on my first order (of three total) and the response was quick and very helpful. I was very happy and would order from them again!

This customer made a pretty cool working remote control boat with one of our wheels and telegraphs.
Wow! I always admire this sort of stuff.
BIG 18" MARK V U.S. NAVY DIVERS DIVING HELMET
Hi Scott,
Attached are some underwater photos of me using the helmet. I had to make quite a few modifications, but because the helmet parts were so close to real, it was not too difficult. Mostly just took time and a lot of lathe work. The major modifications I made were the following:
-Made the exhaust valve functional.
-Added whip, air inlet valve, and check valve to air inlet.
-Cast lead ballast (to hold helmet down) on front and back. Safety plate glass for all windows.
-Soldered all windows to helmet.
-Made helmet retaining latch functional.
-Remade three helmet retaining bolts (brass/headless).
-Larger diameter and longer face plate retaining bolt and pin.
-Replaced attachment lugs on front with functional ones.
-Drilled out spitcock valve and made functional.
-Made brass reinforced shoulder straps to support added ballast weight.
The exhaust valve does not work exactly as it would with the helmet sealed to a diving suit, but not having the helmet attached makes the whole thing a lot safer. Basically if anything were to go wrong, you can simply take the helmet off and surface. The ballast is designed to keep the weight of the helmet under water and filled with air negative, so it stays on your shoulders. It is basically the same as the 1970's Aquabell helmets, if you have ever seen these.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun doing this and now the helmet is not just an ornament, but a functional shallow water diving device. I decided to let it tarnish as it looks more used this way.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Thanks again,
W Stone
Hey Scott,
We will be re-doing the website at www.bushrodhall.com in September after we move in. We want to put a "links" section at the bottom where people can go to order the soaps we have, linens and such. We would be happy to put a link to your website there because I just know these little guys are going to make a big hit. I'll keep an eye on your site and see if there's something that would go nicely in the library. I want to do that as sort of a "gentleman's" room. Thanks SO much....you've added your touch to our little space.

Hi Scott :
Thanks for taking care of business so well. It is a pleasure to do business with pro's that care. Thanks again and we will look forward to future business again.
Happy Sales, Ron n Carol
I received my barometer in reasonable time and in perfect condition. The quality of the instrument was better than expected - heavy brass! I recommend the vendor without reservation.

Thanks Again!

This will be a present for a good friend who graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in June. He was the top sailor in his class. I thought it was a nice idea, but you all made it even bigger! Thanks a ton and a "dong-dong" for you two.
Best regards,
George
Just received the clocks. They look great! We are a company that installs interactive TV on cruise ships for Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Costa, and soon to be Princess. Since we have teams sometimes in different parts of the world this will help show each time zone they are in.
Thanks,
Cliff

Scott, We were so thrilled when we found your 11" tall bell on stand for our barrel train. My husband mounted it on the engine (lawn mower) and we would like to order some smaller bells for each of the barrels behind. Jean / Illinois
Dear Scott,
I am sending some train pictures! The handbells worked too! We used eyebolts and carriage bolts to attach them. The grandchildren had great fun! You can watch it in action:Â "Norman and his train" http://www.kenthawthorne.comThanks for your help! Jean
Fabulous telescope. Thanks for making my first purchase so easy!
For your information the clock is going to be placed in the passenger saloon of a 1931 great lakes steamship. S.S. City of Milwaukee. If you are ever in Michigan come to Manistee and take a tour of the ship.
Patrick
Have really enjoyed the items that I have purchased from you in the past. (6)
My Bar is looking great!

We meet again. This is Dave, you have another clock I like. I'm sure you've sent the first by know. The clocks are nice and the prices are good. I'm retired Navy "weather" and enjoy the nautical touch.

Thanx,

Good Morning.
I received the 12 clocks yesterday, and only had the chance to open one clock to inspect it. I'm very impressed with the item as they will be gifts to the Officers and Board of Directors to be presented at the Opening Night Dinner in May. I am also equally satisfied with your customer service. Thank you so much for an easy transaction.
