Vineyard Church - Mundelein/Libertyville, IL

Project in Progress (2003)

The steel brackets were designed by All Church Sound & Liberty Die & Mold. A visit into the attic was the first step; Blake (All Church Sound) and Rob (Liberty Die & Mold) crept around in the attic for just over an hour taking measurements and determining what the best method of mounting would be.

Once the attic visit was over, Blake and Rob began designing the brackets needed. Materials were ordered and work began. The project required two sizes of box tube, two sizes of round pipe, flat stock, threaded rods, and numerous other pieces of solid steel stock that would be milled into threaded inserts, plates, and other parts. Over 100 linear feet of steel will be used to make the 5 brackets required for this project.

Liberty Die & Mold builds plastic injection molds and handles welding and custom work. Blake began using Liberty Die & Mold for all of his steel speaker brackets when he was doing full turn-key church audio system installations. Blake and Rob have not had a chance to work together on a project like this for quite some time since Blake is no longer doing any installation work. However, for this local church, we were asked to supply the brackets.
