2009 was the first year we accepted entries via
email. We had more than 60 of them via email and a grand total of 120. Usually we get about
100, so in a down economy it was gratifying to see a 20% increase. And entries from all over
the world, from every continent. So maybe almost halfway through its second decade, our little
competition is making its mark!
The judges found two entries to be worthy of First Place. |

John designed an extraordinary extruded aluminum shelf
support. As he said in his submission, “... simple architectural form creates an eye-catching
and pleasing design”.
It will be about 6” by 8” overall in size and quite sturdy. It can be used with either
the 6” or 8” side as the support, to accommodate shelves up to 10” wide. We think
we’ll bevel the edges and make it available in a nice satin anodized finish as well as matte
black. It is in tooling now and available by mid August. |

Perhaps we’ve been at the
furniture parts biz too long. There aren’t too many table leg designs that elicit a
“wow!” from our long time judges. (Or maybe we’ve had the judges too long?).
Jeffrey, an architect, sent in a leg design that was a “WOW!”. It is very unique.
Made of stainless steel and dark wood with stainless fasteners, with a stepped design that is
broad at the top and steps down to almost a point.
Perfect for your contemporary furniture designs! We will be offering it on a custom basis, so we
can make it to your exact dimension, stainless finish, wood choice, and wood finish.

| Doug' News Dear Friends:
Last Friday, February 26, was a banner day. That was the day our first container of aid
was picked up and shipped off to the Dominican Republic where Haiti Community Support
(HCS) will pick it up and transport it overland to Port au Prince. We purchased the
container so HCS will be able to use it at their medical clinic. Better than the tarp on
the sidewalk they’ve been using. As the saying goes, “In the kingdom of the
blind a one eyed man is king”. So a used container become an acceptable medical
examining room. HCS’ doctors have been seeing 1000 people a week. With no end in
sight. The container is progress.
This first container is filled with medical supplies and
food, tents, tables, lumber for building, soap, and lots of other useful things. And one
of our trusty Ford vans we have donated which HCS will use as an ambulance.
Our community and local schools have really stepped up to the plate. We have donations for
at least another two containers, and will start to sort through and organize them, and buy
another container and ready it to go.
Please contact us to donate; we’ll send a call tag to get it. And go to www.haitisupport.org and see the fine work they do.
It is impressive.
Cordially,
Douglas A. J. Mockett |
