 Are
you under the impression we set the parameters and codes to an automated
machine, go have lunch, and return to find your Custom Gates 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. This
is obviously important to Charles. The political implications of a country
with pride in their goods and products and those whose skills create these
products that support their famiies that in turn support their neighbor's products
for the sort ofm self-sustaining economies that make for healthy purposeful
lives. All of it made possible by patrons like yourself.
