EP125: Direct to Metal Paints and the Saw Stop Table Saw

LISTEN HERE:

Segments 2 & 3: Direct-to-Metal Paint

DTM paints, as the name suggests, are meant for application directly to metal surfaces. And yet, there are a vast number of rust inhibitive primers on the market. When is a DTM the right choice for a project and when is there a better option?

We sit down with Dan Altena, the President of RepcoLite Paints to discuss!

Segment 4: The Saw Stop Table Saw

Anyone who’s worked with a table saw has had, at one point or another, visions of tragedy and potential lost digits. It’s a real concern in wood working, because, as we all know: accidents happen so fast!

That’s what makes the Saw Stop system so intriguing! It’s a table saw that is designed to detect flesh and stop the blade in less than 5 milliseconds. Fast enough to change a life-altering injury into a small cut! Check out the links and the video below!

EP123: Importance of Good Design and Water Softeners

LISTEN HERE:

Segments 1 & 2: Importance of Good Design

To discuss how important design in, Jennifer Butler and Andy Yates of Jennifer Butler Design in Grand Rapids have dropped in. As always, we had a great time!

Segments 3 & 4: Water Softeners

We’ve probably all had at least one occasion where the water we out in a glass looks or smells funny. And those can be caused by any number of things. The great news is that a water softener can filter out many things AND save us money at the same time.

Tom Duisterhof, VP of Gordon Water Systems in Grand Rapids, walks us through what we need to know about water softeners and how much they’ll improve some of the little things in life.
