+Cruz na Ilha That is great to hear. That is why I make these videos. When you start making before/after videos, I would love to see them. Here is a link to my website where there is a lot more information available on lean. 2secondlean.com/
Where can we get the Thank You Stickers? Such a great idea!!
Paul, you'll have to come back to Suzhou and see the Pants Building that is now complete and the centre piece of the largest shopping mall in Asia.

I would love to do that. Give me a location address so I can look on Google maps so I know where I need to go the next time I’m there! Please get ahold of me via Voxer or WhatsApp (+13609413748). That is how I like to communicate. Paul
This is awesome!

Paul, I love your videos, you are a great teacher. Could you do a video to explain the other lean stuff like Kanban, Kaizan, takt time & Value stream mapping? Keep up the great work. Putting FastCap on my bucket list. - Mark

Navisworker Thanks Mark!!! Here is a link to a show I did on Kanbans (kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGdsvNFwZq7Tf5M.html). Also, there are several others. Just search kanban in my channel. We aren't doing Value Stream Mapping any more. We have reduced lean to just a few things. Know the EIGHT WASTES (kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5-KqctulM_IYs4.html). Then you can see wastes everywhere. If you can see wastes in everything, you should be able to see the value activity without formally doing Value Stream Mapping. Keep in simple (and fun!). Paul
If FastCap is going to open a factory or an office in China, please hire me. I love this inspiring company.

Hole saw trick: bend a couple of the teeth inwards so it cuts the plug slightly undersized. Two opposite teeth will work well and not impinge removal too much.

@10:00 I wonder why the plug that he supposedly just cut out of a wood textured board has white laminate on it... and it burns because the teeth are not sharpened for wood cross cutting and the teeth stagger is not sufficient for wood, I stagger them more even for metal and it allows a bit free-er cutting

Robert your ridiculous you don’t get it the purpose of this video is to show how they’re building a team not for you to nitpick the details that the owner of the company is perfectly aware of.
Unless you've worked in an absolute rat-hole of a company, it's really difficult to fully appreciate these interviews.
Another Great video!
