The design goal was to make an attractive display island which would double as a sturdy shipping case. There are two brochure holders mounted on the front of the legs holding handouts for the public. One holder has a brochure telling the story of the photograph. The other holder has our EFR Membership brochure. Click on the pictures to see a pdf of each brochure.

Our Master Builder, Lowell VanHorn, accomplished this by using oak reinforced plywood.

Some of the display's features are:
• The entire case with picture weighs less than 100 pounds.
• No special tools are required to be used to unpack and assemble the unit.
• Several flush handles are built into the box so that one or two people can carry it.
• The entire unit can be unpacked and set up in 15 minutes by one person.
• The photograph is protected by soft foam and rigid foam.
• Two brochure holders are mounted in the legs.
• Extra brochures may be carried in a special box inside the shipping box.
• The photograph is locked onto the legs so that curious visitors can not cause it to fall off.
• The whole shipping case has a large enough footprint so it won't tip over.
• The two young lads in the pictures below are Dave Dunlavy's proteges and just assembled the unit.
