    Within Tolerance Episode 277 - Matt Blackwell of Blackwell Engineering

    Matt Blackwell spent over two decades fixing jets and flying C-17s before building a one-man backyard shop and a fiber laser fixture business he never planned on. We talk spindle gripping lessons, the messy line between hobby and business, and how a guy in a backyard shop ends up tapping a few hundred thousand holes.

    Within Tolerance Episode 276 - Joseph Alonso of Novo Modo

    Joe Alonso tells the full Novo Modo origin story—off-grid childhood, working full-time at 16, a career detour through blindness and Microsoft, and launching a shop on pure conviction with no customers lined up. We dig into his inspection-first approach, keeping shops small on purpose, and why culture fixes more than training ever will.

    Within Tolerance Episode 274 - Brian Kippen of KAD Models

    Brian Kippen is back after nearly four years to talk about an incredible period of growth and change at KAD Models. From teaching machining to acquiring a wire forming business, adding a MAM with automation, and managing three facilities across two coasts—all while raising a toddler. We dive into the cultural challenges of bringing precision work to a fast-paced prototype shop, the reality of machine automation ROI, and why delegation is harder than it sounds.

    Within Tolerance Episode 270 - Wait, You Take Breaks? With Zap

    We catch up on a busy stretch: Zap’s UK stint, dialing in systems, and turning chaos into consistency—including saying no when it counts.
