I've read a post somewhere around here that AS is no longer associated with IAP. I cleary see that AS is not sponsoring the 5th Birthday Bash. Does anyone know why? I have been part of IAP since I turned my first pen almost 2 1/2 years ago and have purchased more than $4,000 is pen kits and other supplies from AS in that time. I did have one minor run-in with Bill about something and quickly learned he can be short fused.
The only reason I ever even heard of AS was because of the IAP and our members. If he isn't going to support Jeff and his staff and the IAP, why would I support him? I can only imagine how much sales this membership has sent his way in the last five years. I have been getting away from AS and have had a fantastic experience with Ernie at Beartooth where he put together a desperatly needed order for me before he left town that same day I called! I also have enjoyed doing some business with Ryan and his team and Woodturningz. The only thing I need that AS has exclusively is the TSW. Sorry for being long winded, but I support those who support the IAP. I did send an email to Bill asking why he wasn't supporting IAP and have not heard anything back as of today.
