Hi Vicente,
Thank you so much for your blog. I admire the way you create intimate table-scapes. I want to know about the metal stands you have used to display objects. I have, for example, a collection of wooden-block batik stamps that I want to display at various heights. I have looked for ready-made sources on-line (museum and display purveyors) but haven’t found anything. Would you point me in the right direction?

I have mine made in Thailand because I had the same problem and so, when I travel, I always end up in Thailand and bring them with me and have them mounted there.
Maybe your local museum could give you information about where they get theirs made?

I have my stands made by a local welder, you might try your local trade school.

A local welder or machine shop manufacture items like that very easily and inexpensively.

Another great source is a local art school. At Pagoda Red, we have our stands made by metal sculpture students at the Art Institute of Chicago.

10-31 Inc. is the name of a company in New Jersey that makes display stands for museums and others who need special stands. They will customize a stand for your particular item, and they have a catalog of different standard sized stands. Nice people, too. Address: 2 W Crisman Rd Columbia, NJ 07832-2709
