Just a quick email on the shot peening course I attended in Toronto. The course is a must for anyone in the shot blast industry whether just blasting or peening parts. Jack (Champaigne) made the course very understandable and was very straightforward and to the point when answering all questions in a manner that we could understand. The guest speakers added some very knowledgeable information for anyone looking at the special equipment that is required to carry out the different shot peening applications. Again thanks for the excellent course and highly recommended to anyone in the manufacturing of stress-related parts.

I learned several things that will help me. Also learned that there are areas I really need to work on.

I wanted to extend a gracious thank you for hosting the Shot Peening Training Seminar in Orlando, Florida last week. I never thought I could learn so much information in three days. It will really help my company out in getting our shot peening process started and underway.

Well, my latest electronic issue of Shotpeener arrived and it was packed full of knowledge as always! I just wanted to take a minute to recognize the fantastic work you continue to do. I think I was our first engineer to take your seminar but not our last (we first met at a Shotpeening Workshop about 15 years ago). The things that we’ve learned and connections we’ve made through you continues to improve and maintain our work every day. Almost all of our product is blasted, honed, or peened. We are probably the largest consumer of steel grit in our region. Much of our work has been directly impacted (pun intended) by you, Electronics Inc, and Shotpeener.
Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work!”

I wanted to thank you again for putting on the seminar in Irvine last year. I was able to get a better understanding of the process and how to plot a saturation curve. Because of what I learned we were able to bring our process and training up to date, and is more aligned with the AMS spec.

The course is very detailed and flexible in that it allows anyone to start and stop at a comfortable level and continue on to get to level 3 shot peening.
Found you’ve corralled very knowledge people with a lot of depth in shot peen machinery and shot peen process. Kumar [Balan] and you [Dave Barkley] backfilled [sic] other presentations to reinforce different points and that helps all to understand information. Not greatly commercial, but enough to help people find answers. Good humour and mood at the meeting that definitely helps everyone relax and learn. Only thing that could be added would be a site visit to demo a process and that may help for people not exposed to a full range of shot peening applications and parts.

I thought the US workshop was a productive and well-run event and it was heartwarming to chat with my friends.

I had a great time at the Indianapolis workshop as evidenced by how fast the week went by. It’s always a pleasure to see old friends and make new ones.
