And in the beginning - was the very
first STETSBAR prototype (about
1879?), now preserved for future generations at the STETS
Manufacturing facility in upper New York State, USA |
 |
 |
|
The manufacturing process begins
with machining the STETSBAR base
plates from the raw metal billets on a CNC machine |
| |
|
|
|

Skilled operators use turret drills to
form part of the string retaining assembly |
Boxes of arms
and bases returned from the plating process and awaiting assembly

 |
Final assembly
is completed by hand and each unit is checked thoroughly before
final packaging and shipment |

Stets - sitting astride one of the corporate delivery vehicles.
Known to all his co-workers simply as
"Sir", he maintains a tight grip on quality, beer and cunning design
revisions. |

Even the "Hog" carries a
STETSBAR label |
