FAQ’s:
Is my Butler Waterproof?
No, your Butler is Splash Proof in the sense that the LED’s, Circuitry and Speakers can handle a spilt drink, a misdirected beam of water from the hose pipe or a moment of rain before it is brought under cover. A trip to the swimming pool or being left outside in rain would almost certainly deliver a fatal blow to your Butlers Electronic functionality.
What does my Butler Weigh in at?
Your Butler weighs in at a substantial 90kg. We don’t use hollow tubes or soft woods here. We use solid timber and components to ensure that your station is rigid, stable, and built to last a lifetime. It’s heavy because it’s real. Stadig oor die Klippe!
How should I clean and care for my Butler?
We have used nothing less than the industry leading Hesse Lignal paints and finishes on your Butler and no special after care is required. You can give your Butler an occasional wipe down with warm and mildy soapy water, whilst avoiding corrosive chemicals.
ABOUT US
OUR STORY:
Brothers Nicolas and Bergen Broodryk began their adventure into woodwork in 2021 with The Schnauzer Co, manufacturing everything from beehives to cutting boards to countertops and tens of thousands of branded promotional goodies and trinkets in-between.
As manufacturers for hire, we learned to overcome the challenges of designing and manufacturing on-the go, most often to meet impossible deadlines. Starting off with a small vintage table saw and a bucket of second-hand tools, we were driven by our will to produce, and each new piece of equipment we collected along the way felt like a sweet victory.
Through our experience, we began to realise our potential as designers and as makers, and set about thinking how we can truly showcase our passion for innovation and for craftsmanship. We wanted to create something special that speaks to people on an emotional level. Our mission is to create things that people do not necessarily need or want, but to create things that people love.
