Professional Quality Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have ordered at least 5 times from Chris. From his single point ground/cable entry boxes, to stand-off brackets for wire antennas and small VHF/UHF sticks, to all kinds of grounding straps and connectors. His stuff if top shelf, his communication is awesome, and it gets here when he says it will. To add to the great experience, my sweet tooth is satisfied as well. Huh? Order and find out. You will not be disappointed.

top notch enclosure Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I'm putting together a new radio room and was steered to Metalwerks by a friend.

I purchased a 14X17" powder coated aluminium enclosure with HF arrestors, interior faceplates, cable hangers etc.

Chris' workmanship is top notch. He builds to exact specification and he stocks just about anything and everything needed to do a professional cable management system.

His prices on hardware are on par with any other supplier of these items and I was able to one stop shop the entire project.

His lead times are exceptional as is his customer communication.

His product line is continuously expanding and as a new ham shopping on his site made it easy to thoroughly plan the cable management for my radio room to a level that I could not have accomplished on my own.

Highly recommended. I will be a return customer.

Absolutely First Quality! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just purchased a custom made cable entry box from KF7P Metalworks. Words and web site pictures cannot adequately describe what you see when you open the box.

The quality and attention to detail is first rate and the construction is very heavy duty. I ordered my box with the powder coating and it's hard and looks great.

I also ordered several other items and the quality is excellent.

Before ordering I had some questions and Chris answered all of my questions in a very professional manner. Delivery was quick and I could not be more pleased.

You won't be disappointed!

An Excellent Product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Not much can be added to the previous reviews. This is one excellent product. A single point ground system with your choice of arrestors. Turns that jumble of cables and wires into a waterproof, professional looking entry.

Excellent! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Chris delivers a high end product! The fit and finish on his boxes are impeccable. I went with the 13x13 product, 3 arrestors and a rotator terminal, copper grounding bar. I am so impressed with Chris's work I am going to order an 8x8 box with copper pass through for the inside of my shack.

Chris mounted all the hardware for me, the powder coat finish is superb!

If you want to professionally cleanup your cables into your house or other building this product won't disappoint!

I *love* my new entrance panel! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've always wanted a properly set-up entrance panel to get my cable entryway organized. I wanted to "do it right", with a nice looking enclosure, some good quality surge suppressors mounted on a copper ground plate and a good quality 3" copper strap to my ground rods. I just never COULD get around to finding all the components, ordering them, building-out the panel, and getting everything properly installed.

Then I found Chris, KF7P. I explained to him what I wanted and he just... made it happen for me, and he did it in less than a week.

The entrance panel box Chris built was customized to my specifications and painted in bronze powder-coat (to match my window casings, which *really* helped with the Wife Acceptance Factor). Not only was Chris' work absolutely first rate, but he was very helpful and a true a pleasure to deal with. Throughout the process, Chris responded quickly and helpfully to my emails.

Oh... the price was right, too.

I recommend Chris KF7P Metalwerks without hesitation. He's helpful, does good work, provides fast turn-around, and charges a very fair price.

Absolutely the best! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased an entrance panel a month ago along with some copper strap. Chris (KF7P) was more helpful than any other person I ever ordered anything from. His responses were extremely fast. The panel was customized exactly the way I needed it, and when I received it I was very impressed with the quality of what he made. I don't think it's possible to find a better entrance panel or have a better ordering experience any where else.

Quality products Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently purchased this entry panel as part of a station upgrade. I could not be more pleased. Its solid construction and first-class craftsmanship really give things a professional look.

I also purchased his ground rod, tower leg, and joining clamps for copper strap. Definitely beats my earlier home-brew solutions. They work better and are easier to install.

Very pleased Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Needed to go from a single ground rod connection to a single point ground system for my radios and antennas. Should have done this much earlier in my ham experience. Florida is known for lightning strikes. Lots of money and effort generally unprotected from voltage surges.

First rate construction and parts. Used ICE suppressors to complete my grounding system. Be sure to lay out pathway for cables and suppressors. I use RG213 which is not very flexible, so measure twice and drill once.

Great product and service from Chris. Very prompt in answering questions and making sure of my order and status.
