Some customer feedback:
 

the following e-mails are from a few recent customers. All of them are happy, some are greatly so! For objectivity, I
have left each mail unedited except for removing family names and e-mail addresses. You will see that there are
occational sizing troubles or (one time) a problem with an engraved inscription! -(Such things are quickly made right!)
 

•"Fred,

Yes the ring has arrived, sorry for not writing sooner but it has been rather busy at work. It is EXACTLY as I wanted. I am so
pleased with it. Many people have already asked about it, seems that they think it is platinum at first!! My girlfriend has just
come back from Australia this morning and she loves it. I think that I will be placing an order for her in the next couple of
weeks. Thank you so much I am seriously impressed with the quality and finish. In fact I can't stop looking at it."

•" Hi Fred!
Just letting you know that the ring arrived and its GREAT! Greg was so suprised at how light it is! Its a bit big on him, but
right now he is about 14 pounds down (he loses alot during tax season) so he thinks that it will be alright after he puts a few
pounds back on.

Thanks so much, he has already shown it to a few people and is so proud of how "special" it is!

•" Fred,
Both the rings and earrings were as good as promised. Next time, I may go for the blacker finish.
Thanks."

•" Hello,

I got the ring. It looks great! It'll take a while to get used to wearing a ring (after the wedding) since the only jewelry I've ever
previously worn is a watch. Really impressive ring, everyone is shocked at how lightweight it is. (The machine shop folks like
the ring a lot also.)

Our experiment is most decidedly not top secret. There was an article on it in the April issue of Scientific American. It's a
balloon experiment (to get above almost all of the atmosphere) to look at cosmic ray (high energy charged particles from
space) antiprotons, electrons, and positrons of energies of 1-100 billion electron volts. That was one sentence. :)"

•" Fred,

Good work, very nice! We received our rings today and we are pleased. I was really not sure how well the style would look
like. You made it exactly like the specs and it turned out great. Your workmanship is very good and I sure appreciate the way
you handled my order. Very professional.

My ring fits perfectly. It is exactly the same size as my old one. My wife's ring is a little bit lose and it is a tiny little bit bigger
than what she has. She is going to try it for a couple of days for now. I suspect that her ring will need re-sizing. I hope that it
will not be a problem for you. We will give it a few days and see. If we were to sent it back, we will probably sent you her old
ring so that you can adjust the size accordingly.

Thanks again for the great work!"

•" Fred-

I recieved my ring this morning right on time. It looks great, I very pleased. The fit seems to be perfect. I have never wore any
rings before so I will need to live with it for a while but it feels very comfortable. Thanks for your great service and
craftmanship, it has been a pleasure to do business with you. I will give you a progress report in a month or so."

Thanks, Lance
 
 

•" Hi Fred,

Just wanted to let you know that the ring arrived today. It couldn't be more perfect! It is even more beautiful than we had
thought and we are extremely pleased with the quiality and the light weight. Thank you so much, and feel free to use my name
as a recommendation."

Sincerely,

from Fred: secret no more!) It should be a really neat location, although I've only seen it in pictures. Thanks again, we are
both very pleased with the finished product, its exactly what we had hoped for."
Cheers,
Jay
 
 

•" Dear Beth and Fred:

We're back from a lovely holiday in St. Lucia -- highly recommended!

The rings arrived, and I have to tell you they are quite beautiful. I'd be happy to serve as a reference to any potential
customers who would like to know more about your quality work, friendly service, and great prices!

I've never actually worn any jewlery before, so I'm doubly delighted and amazed at how light and comfortable and how
"natural" these rings feel!

Mercedes loves hers as well; and they've been a big hit with anyone who's seen them!

My heartfelt appreciation!"

Best Wishes,

Eric

•"Hi Fred,

I received the ring today. Looks great. The finish is perfect, the size is good. You have another happy customer. As far as the
inscription goes, I think we can live with it (at least it's there). Thank you very much.

Best regards," SCOT & JEAN

(a few months later...)

•" Hi Fred,

I hope all is well with you. Everything has been great for me until this weekend when I lost the very cool ring you made for
me. Would you make me another ring exactly like the first. This time let's make it 1/2 size smaller so it won't slip off so easily.
We can give the engraver another chance as well. Please let me know the particulars."

Regards,

Scot

•" Fred,

We just wanted to thank you very much for all your help. I received the rings today, and they are BEAUTIFUL..(mine fit
perfectly), just another worry I could put to rest now.

Your kindness and wonderful customer caring attitude was greatly appreciated. Thank you again for the quick turnaround
time. "

•" My ring arrived today. It looks and fits great. Thanks."

Jay
 
 

•" Hello Fred. We received our beautiful wedding rings in plenty of time for our ceremony Saturday. Thank you!
Unfortunately, I made a mistake in sizing and therefore the ring is a size too large. I'm putting it in the mail to you today for resizing (from size 9 to size 8). It will feel
strange not to wear it, so I hope you can get it back to me quickly. Please note my new email address. Thanks again! "
 
 

•" Hi Fred!

We just wanted to say thanks for getting Aaron's ring here in such a rush. We love it! It fits great and looks wonderful! I can't

•" Fred, I hope you received work from my wife that we got the ring - and even before we left on our trip. So your record of
never missing a date still holds! Just wanted to let you know that the ring is wonderful. It looks fantastic, is very unique, and
there has been no irritation to my finger like my original gold ring. Thank you again, the ring is one fabulous piece of
workmanship, and has made myself and my wife very happy that I have such a nice ring that I can wear all the time."

•" Hi everybody, The rings arrived today. Dark, smooth in our fingers, extremelly light, I loved it! Me and Lucia, my wife, are
using them now. People get very impressed by its lightness and its dark colour. It feels extremelly confortable in my finger
and sometimes I even forget I'm a using a ring. Thanks the great piece of work! Regards,"

Sergio (Brazil)
 
 

•" Fred -- In a word which seems way too small to encompass this ring's raw, simple beauty and sheer, flawless
craftsmanship: wow! I had to fire off a compliment immediately. It's perfect, mister, and it seems to fit perfectly, too. (I'll
know for sure in a day or two.) What will you be calling this new line of rings? PS -- While I am sorely tempted to order an
Abyss of similar proportions immediately, I'll wait a few days. (Credit card bills coming due...)"
 
 
 

•" The ring is everything that i had pictured it to be... it looks great!!.. one of the numbers on the engraving however looks a
bit funny tho, but i think it should be okay.. oh yea.. one more thing, can the ring be changed for size anytime? because i'm
not really sure when to ask my girlfriend to marry me.. thank you very much for all your help"

•" Hi Fred, just wanted to say thanks for the great job you did with our rings. I really appreciate your working with us on our

•" Hi, My name is Jim and I am Tara's fiancee. You made a Ti ring for her a few weeks ago. I'm going to be wearing the ring
and I just wanted to say that I like it and am sure that it will last a lifetime. It felt a little tight when I tried it on, but I took it
to the jeweller that made Tara's platinum ring and he said it was fine, don't change it. They thought it was hollow, but I told
them it was aircraft grade titanium and assured them it was solid. Then they were fascinated by it, they had heard there were
ways to get titanium rings but, of course, don't make them. Thanks for making it and know that it will serve as a symbol of the
strength of our marriage for many years."

Jim
 
 

•" thanks! i received the ring first thing this morning. it looks and feels great! i want to try it on a couple of times over the
course of a day to make sure that it is the right size after playing drums, etc. "

(Jim)
 
 
 

•" Fred, I have received my ring and the glasses. My ring fits great, I'm glad I choose the 6mm width it's perfect. Everybody
commented on how different it is, I actually wore it to work one day and it's so light you can hardly tell it's there. Great for
diehard bachelors! Your craftsmanship is outstanding. I have your glasses finished and I will send them shortly. I don't know
what I was thinking about your wife's glasses but if you tell me which side the nosepiece is missing I can get it replaced on my
pair of T-wires and send you the new one with the ones I am sending now. So I'll hold off shipping these until you let me know
which one is missing. There crimped in so make sure it's secure when you get it. All the "Wire's" have different color nose
pieces to match the frame. Thanks again Fred, Talk to you later, Dave "

•" Fred,

I just wanted to tell you how much i love the ring...its beautiful and the inscription is perfect. Everyone i have shown it to has
been very impressed especially with the lightweight nature of the metal. The craftmen ship is beautiful, now we just have to
see if it fits! Thanks again for your patience!"

sabrina
(and then a second mail that answers the last question!)
•" Fred-

My fiance lives in NYC... and I live in Cleveland, so he hasn't had the opportunity to try the band on yet, but he will be in
town in a few weeks and he will try it on then. If for some reason it doesn't fit should we return to you to be sized? I don't
think it will be a problem. Once again i thank you for doing such a good job. "
 
 

•" Hi Fred,

I got the ring today. It looks and feels great! I'm glad I found you guys -- you had just what I was looking for -- something in
a traditional design but made of a non-traditional metal. Thanks for the quick turn-around on the order"

•" Yes, as I mentioned the phone number that the delivery service had was incorrect. So I gave them a call, they had it there
and I simply just picked it up. The ring is great! Thanks for everything "

"The ring is perfect!

It fits great and does not hurt my fingers on either side of my ring finger. I have been showing it off around the station and
have gotten favorable responses from everyone. One person asked if you can get custom engraving on the out side of the ring.
I only have one suggestion. You should put your Logo inside the ring with the word Titanium. Thanks!"

•" Dear Fred,

A belated thank you for the time you took to correspond and to make sure I had all the needed information before purchasing
my husband's wedding ring. I had friends who were concerned about my making a purchase over the Internet and I thank you
for putting my mind at ease. The ring was absolutely perfect and my husband was thrilled with it - in his words "titanium is
forever and so are we" what a great statement. Should you need a reference please feel free to use my name and I would be
more than happy to recommend your product, also should you ever have any new products that we may be interested in
please forward the information. Thank you again and the best to you and your partners in your future endeavors.

Sincerely, "

•" Thank you for the beautiful ring. Your workmanship is excellent. I had a friend, who is an engineer asked what Ti it is and
what is its Burnel Hardness?

Thanks,
Jim
 
 

-- Hi Jim,

Thanks for the compliments!

I have finally found harness information for the different titanium grades compiled using the same hardness test. (usually 6/4 is
measured using the "rockwell C" scale)

hardness:
Ti 6/4 brinell 334 (aircraft grade)
Ti gr1 brinell 120 (softest general grade)
Ti gr2 brinell 200 (slightly harder general grade)

Generally speaking, many titanium rings currently available are made from either of the 2 different "general grades" of titanium.
Except yours of course! We only used Ti 6/4. (6Al/4V, also known as grade 5).

Fred

•" Dear Beth and all who helped on our ring,

We just received our package with our new titanium ring. It is beautiful. Perhaps I should tell you the story of our original
ring experience.
We were married a month and a half ago, but about a month before our wedding we decided to order a titanium band
through a local jeweler in our home city. Well, the jeweler never called us about the order and come the week before the
wedding we were getting quite nervous about the status of our ring. It wasn't until the day before the wedding that we were
able to track the jeweler down and he then told us that he didn't have our titanium band. He was going to try and get a hold
of the company that night and then call us. No call ever came. The next morning we needed to leave for the ceremony at 9:00
a.m. His phone call came at 9:00 a.m. as we were running out the door saying that he had a spare ring for us to use until the
real one came. We told him that it was too late, and I ended up using my new father-in-law's 14K gold wedding band for the
time to substitute. It was so nice to find your company, to be able to choose from so many ring options, and to get such
friendly, immediate, and quality service. Even my father-in-law is thinking about getting a new titanium ring. Thank you
again. "

purchasing titanium jewelry to look your company up.

Thank You,

•" I am writing to respond to an e-mail that was sent to me by wife (Formerly Donna ------) . Regarding a ring we recently
purchased which contains a gold inlay. I would like to say that I am very happy with it, quite an awesome ring, I am
extremely happy with it and cannot thank you enough, I have a few friends that will be getting married next year and I know
that two will be purchasing rings from you. Keep up the good work and I will be continuing to show of this ring that is "well
you've seen it" AWESOME thanks again and if I have any questions, I will call you."

•" I realize how important customer feedback is especially when doing business over the internet. If you want to post the
message on your website along with my e-mail address (use lfranke@mpsi.net) I would be more than happy to write anyone
who wishes to hear from a very happy customer. My wife and I just received our rings(Beveled profile, polished). They are
great! The pictures on the website are very accuate in their representation of the 'look' of the ring but still nothing compares
once you have it on your finger. Doing business with "Afterhours titanium" and specially Beth has been a very
pleasant experience. I found them to be extremely professional in all communications and dealings. They kept the inital
deadline for me receiving the rings which seems to be the exception rather than the rule in most businesses currently. Thanks
again for the rings!"

Very masculine and sporty looking. Thanks for everything, it was a pleasure dealing with you!"

•" The Fex-Ex guy just dropped off my ring, I was SO excited. IT'S GORGEOUS!!! When I finally give it to Peter, he is going
to fall in love with it. Again, thank you so much for the help and suggestions you made for the ring to be more comfortable for
Peter's hand. I am sure this will work alot better. I also like the fact that the ring is more unique since you do not normally
make them this particular width. I also love this finish alot more than the satin. It's perfect!!! Sincerely, Christina"
 
 

I hope that you have enjoyed a little bit more insight into our workmanship by reading some of these transcribed
