MANUFACTURING TOUR

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

       
The man who started it all - Mr 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
