Read Mythbusters' Host, Jamie Hyneman's, Buildpro Testimonial

With over thirty years of working in special effects shops, I know good tools when I see them, and I know that the right tool can get a job done better in a fraction of the time than something that is mediocre. Don’t get me wrong- give me just a hammer and I’ll build you anything you want. But you can’t beat a perfectly designed and manufactured tool. I first saw a BuildPro welding table a couple of months ago at Tech Shop in San Francisco, and I had to have one. The design is ingenious, but this is no ‘gadget’ - while solid as a rock, it is flexible enough to accommodate and lock down anything you can fit on it. And as any experienced welder knows, jigging things solidly before welding is crucial if you want to do a neat, professional job that doesn’t warp from the weld stresses. And you can spend more time jigging a workpiece down properly than actually putting it together. Not with this table and the accessories though-they thought of everything: nitrided surfaces that weld splatter won’t stick to, sectioned plates that come off easily if you need clearance, and every imaginable clamp and hold down that can socket cleanly into the hundreds of machine perfect holes. They are designed so that adjustments are instant, and will accommodate any configuration. There is nothing else like it out there- all you have to do is look at one and you’ll understand."

Exploring the Relationship Between State-Of-The-Art, Technological and Commercial Feasibility, and the Restatement’S Reasonable Alternative Design Requirement
“FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT, ORVILLE!”: EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE-OF-THE-ART, TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL FEASIBILITY, AND THE RESTATEMENT’S REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE DESIGN REQUIREMENT RICHARD C. AUSNESS* INTRODUCTION Of course Wilbur never told Orville to fasten his seat belt. Not only did the first Wright Flyer have no seat belts, it did not even have seats!1 Orville steered the Wright Flyer I from a prone position, not sitting up.2 Nor was the Wright brothers’ flying machine equipped with such useful safety features as brakes, landing gear, a radio, ailerons, or even much of a tail.3 In fact, if the truth be told, the Wright brothers’ airplane was a flying deathtrap. The good news for both modern pilots and their passengers is that aircraft technology, including safety technology, has progressed enormously since 1903. Aircraft manufacturers have now incorporated many forms of technology, such as radar, global positioning navigation systems, transponders, radios, anti-lock braking systems, and fire-resistant insulation in order to make their products safer. Unfortunately, progress has not been as impressive in other areas. Consider punch presses. Notwithstanding the fact that these machines cause hundreds of injuries in the workplace each year, many punch presses continue to employ Rube Goldberg-like devices such as “pullbacks” to protect punch press operators from serious injury.4 Why has safety technology improved so dramatically over the last hundred years for airplanes while punch press safety technology apparently has not? One explanation for this curious result is that product manufacturers effectively control the pace of technological development, including the development of safety-related technology by deciding how much to invest in research and development.5 At the same time, the experience of aircraft and punch press * Dorothy Salmon Professor of Law, University of Kentucky College of Law.

KARI BYRON Host, Science Channel’s HEAD RUSH and Discovery Channel’s MYTHBUSTERS Kari Byron is a born tinkerer and explorer. By the age of 5, she was experimenting on her sister and using dolls as crash test dummies. Luckily for her parents, they always caught her right before her little sister took a ride down a laundry chute or was the subject of an "around-the-world" attempt on the playground swings. Kari began her career as a sculptor and painter before finding her dream jobs on MYTHBUSTERS and HEAD RUSH, where she gets to explore and experiment to her heart’s content. For HEAD RUSH, Kari hosts the all new, one-hour, commercial-free kids' programming block on Science Channel that is targeted toward middle-school age students and the curious kid in all of us. Her aim is to inspire and excite kids about the wonders of science and show how science is a vital part of their everyday lives. No subject goes unexplored as Kari dives into mathematics, science, technology, engineering, natural history and space with hands-on experiments, video shorts, viewer questions and answers, games and visits from other members of the Discovery family. This dynamic and entertaining programming block consists of three segments per hour, each addressing a specific subject, question or theme. After graduating from San Francisco State University and traveling the world, Kari began her career as a sculptor and painter, holding successful exhibitions at some of San Francisco's leading galleries.

You've heard you shouldn't use cell phones near gas stations since they can produce small sparks that can ignite big fires. Can that be true? It's a tough job separating truth from urban legend, but that's exactly what the "MythBusters" do. And one Mythbuster will soon be on the campus of Eastern Illinois University to reveal some of the secrets behind the making of the popular Discovery Channel program.
