When we surf around on the internet, we always enjoy seeing
family enterprises. It gives us a glimpse of who the real
people are behind the company name and who we are really
buying from. We thought you might appreciate the same from
us, so here is a little about the Bentz family. The ski photos
were taken during a trip to Winterpark, Colorado — one
our favorite vacation spots!

David Bentz
Ever faithful husband to Pam and Dad to boys. Master metal
fabricator — responsible for all designs and metal
fabrication. Started putting stainless steel in home kitchens
before it was cool! Metal fabrication lead designer since 1987.
Pam and David
Alan Bentz
Very good press brake operator — and can be talked into
assisting with field installs. Talented singer in the
school choir. Avid reader and writer — Joined the
Ready-Writer's club this year. Driving now — heaven
help us!
Our OLD Shop Dog - Charlie
A pembrook corgi - gone but not forgotten. Stolen right
out of our parking lot! We couldn't believe it. We
left him unattended for 15 minutes, and poof!
Vanished.
We argued about getting another dog, but Darren won. So
now we have a NEW shop dog — see right!

Pam Bentz
Runs the office, answers the phones, Mom to all the sons, dogs
(and maybe some of the employees, too!), and lifelong partner
to David. Looking a little harried here! In the office, on the
phone, always there.
Erik Bentz
Answers phones and handles email and contracts, other times does
whatever is needed! Insisted on getting credit for digging Pam's
flower beds!
Darren Bentz
Doing his thang! He calls this maneuver a "nosegrab."
If you look closely, you can see his invention — chains to
hold your feet on the skateboard. Makes skateboarding 10 times
the fun! All that, and made straight "A's" and first
honor roll — Again! He answers phones occasionally.
Our NEW Shop Dog - Grady
7 weeks old. We decided to get a Shelty because we had one before
that was really great. From the looks of things, he's going to be
a winner!
Grady - 22 weeks old

And, last but not least is the dedicated staff of Handcrafted
Metal. We're standing in front of a really big vent
hood right before we shipped it out.
