"In 2010, I was in search of a company that could assist us in an unusual art project that our company was looking at. I searched locally and the Internet, sent out numerous requests for several weeks looking for a machine company that could fabricate the custom pieces that we were looking for, until I was contacted by Ken Walker of Wolverine Machine. Since our first discussions, Mr. Walker seemed intrigued by the project that we were trying to put together. We worked together for over 1 year trying several different prototypes of the parts until we had a final assembly that was approved by both the owner and the artist. Throughout the years that we worked together, they were some of the most cooperative and patient people that I have had the pleasure to work with and they have never missed a deadline, no matter how unrealistic that it was. Now in July 2012, we have the project over 2/3 completed and are now looking at the finish line. The project is a 25,000 square foot Ned Kahn Wind Veil feature in Clayton, Missouri and when finished will have over 80,000 flag assemblies. It has been a pleasure working with Wolverine and I look forward to working with them in the future."
