Blaze Destroys Machinist’s Home & Shop

Stanley Kazimierczak’s machine shop and home, about a mile from my pewter shop, burned to the ground in a fire on March 30, 2009.

Stan is a great guy, and almost nothing worse could have happened since he did not have insurance. He makes a lot of tools for my shop and helps out a lot of people around town. He’s a real crackerjack machinist, and he does beautiful work. We want to see him get back on his feet and back into business.

Stanley has done a lot of work for me over the years, machining the chucks I use to form my pewter pieces. I used to have them made out of wood, but now Stan makes them out of steel and they last forever.

I’ve initiated a fundraiser to help our Hillsborough neighbor rebuild his business. An account has been opened in Kazimierczak’s name at Sovereign Bank in Hillsborough, NH. Supporters may deposit funds there to help him rebuild his business.

If you are intested in making a contribution, visit Sovereign Bank on West Main Street in Hillsborough, NH or call (603) 464-5541.
