INDEX: January 2015
We start this first issue of 2015 with one of my favorite topics: new inventions to make the stone industry safer and more productive. The regular flow of innovations coming from August and Michael Iocco (Fabricators for Fabricators) is impressive, and they have done it again with the Super Fast Sink Bracket. We also present a theme of sorts covering some important health and safety issues in the industry, and present an installment of our Pillars of the industry – an interview with new NTCA president James Woelfel. Read and enjoy the wit, wisdom and industry news offered this month. Send your letters and comments to publisher@slipperyrockgazette.net. If your shop is doing something interesting– we want to know!
