Episode #112 - Happy Screw Year!
With the onset of a new year, the fastener industry seems primed for action. The latest season of online fastener talk radio begins with a conversation with Link Magazine publisher, Mr. Leo Coar, who notes that forty years are just the start, and things are looking good for the little guy as far as he can tell (18:55). Andy Pels, of ScrewCrew.com and Mike Topolewski, of Perigee Manufacturing, look back at the previous year, then shift focus to their positive feelings for 2017 (1:15:34). The FDI numbers for December tell of similar positive sentiment throughout the screw business, as Fastener Technology International editor, Mike McNulty and R.W. Baird analyst, Dave Manthey, explain during the Fastener News Report (43:39). Plus, industry virtuoso Carmen Vertullo explains the finer points of wedge tensile testing, on the Fastener Training Minute (1:09:03).
