 Are
you under the impression we set the parameters and codes to an automated
CNC machine, go have lunch, and return to find your gate ready to
ship? Or that we assembled the assorted parts milled and ripped
and cut by a factory of semi-skilled workers?
How about an American master craftsman, one
pair of hands start-to-finish.
"Hands On:"
This phrase
like an idiom, watered-down and battered like the driven snow under
the galoshes of a Wal-Mart culture. At CPW it means one pair of hands
belonging to one carefully chosen American craftsman, an Artisan,
intrinsically focused on this gate below as with the entire CPW product
line, from the first cut to the last final sanding. A single
craftsman among many linked with CPW who unwittingly whistle as they
work. Who perhaps pause to dance now and again through the sawdust.
Who return to their families each evening invigorated, brimming from
the satisfaction of a life by choice.
