This past Friday & Saturday Lie-Nielson demonstrated their hand tools at Ball & Ball in Exton, PA. The Delaware Valley Chapter of SAPFM was asked to setup a booth to promote the organization. Attending for SAPFM were Rich Nimetz, Joe Coniglio & Chuck Bender. We handed out about 20 applications and spoke to some people who seemed very interested. Hope we picked up some new members from this outing.

The showroom and shop was open to not only the demonstrators but also people coming to the show. Bill Ball setup times when his employees were performing tasks such as pouring brass into molds & forging hinges. Great to have access to behind the scenes of the manufacturing of Ball & Ball hardware. So thanks go out to Bill Ball and his staff who were so gracious.

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
