Lean Problem Solving 2P10

What? Flush Cut Pliers and Guitars

FastCap is all about innovation, thinking lean, and turning ideas into reality. Some of the best ideas, however, come from professional woodworkers and customers who have first-hand experience with our products. When Taylor Guitars first began, I was privileged enough to help build the first 2,000 guitars for the company alongside Bob Taylor himself. Not only did I learn a great deal about wood working skills, but he also realized that great ideas come from those who are knowledgeable within their field of expertise. Watch this video to hear more about my personal experience with Bob Taylor and the creation of the Flush Cut Trimmer. Check out the End Nippers on the FastCap web site.

If you are a woodworker and have a great idea, send it in to paul@fastcap.com. FastCap pays up to five percent royalty and we will manufacture, market, and sell your idea all over the world. This is our way of saying, “Thank you!”
