My name is Jim Grinnen and my wife is Barb.
We would like to tell you a little about our stand.
When we got married I found out that Christmas decorating
was one of Barbs favorite pass times. So our first Christmas we needed a big tree and a good stand.
The tree took longer to pick out then our living room furniture but the stand would be easy (I though).
The stand I found was $18.00 and the box said it
would hold a tree as well as the Earth did.
After 2 hours of trying to get the Earth like grip I cracked the stand.
I was #$*+@ to say the least and Barb was Crying, what to do next? Have a few beers, not a good start
to the holiday.
Having a back ground in masonry I realized that for something to stand it has to have a strong foundation.
I started playing around with different designs over the years. Finally I designed this stand as a simple and strong foundation for a Christmas Tree.

This may not be a good picture. But I think you can tell Barb is happy.
