He's a great guy and does great work. Take his time stimates with a grain or two of salt, but otherwise he is a delight to work with.

And if you ever get a chance to see his shop, go. It is like a museum of unbelieveably cool stuff. A museum in need of a curator, but a museum nonetheless.

Peregrine is right that Ed is collaborating with Bruce Gordon to build custom frames under the Bruce Gordon label. The jury is out on how successful that venture will be.
