No, its the people, and what they put into our stand and product!

We do quite a few designs that are interesting enough that people are asking for how we do that. Therefore we have decided to do the Christian thing and start writing up some of these designs and give them away. Some will be on things for a church stand, others will be on items for use at home. Be sure to check back as we will be adding to the list.

While our stand is made of wood with steel running gear, we have been using stainless steel, copper, aluminum, HDPE & PVC as items need replacing. We do this for 2 reasons, first to be compatible with a food service, second is to reduce long term maintenance. For example the front window covers were made of wood, but rotted out after 10 years. We change the design to be flush on the outside, so water would not sit on an edge, and used PVC expanded sheeting with wood reinforcing on the inside, so we wouldn't have to replace them for many years. The decorative shutters were made from colored PVC sheeting, glued together and mounted with SS screws, as we found that using SS hardware would also last much longer, and continue to look nice much longer than plated steel.
