  • "While I really like automation of menial tasks, especially where there are savings on energy/time/money (e.g. dishwashers) this seems like another unitasker.  I'd go as far to say it's worse than bread machines were...remember those? When did you put yours out for a garage sale or worse, the trash?   Those "dough pods"! Really?  With all the grief about coffee pods...not sure this would fly.    Seems to me that the had part of tortillas is the making of the dough...not the cooking of it.   Give me a machine that I can dump in the raw materials (which I can buy in bulk locally) and then spits out a strip of perfect dough.   At least then I could use the machine to make other dough-like things...ravioli or lasagna maybe?     I really don't think this machine would sell.  (....I feel compelled to hope this is real and not a troll)"

  • "I have no doubt that Jimmy knows what works.  He's great.  But I don't think Jimmy or anyone else is on a pedestal either.   You can't expect something to be shown here and not expect some friendly critique.  And that's how we all learn.   I get your point on the magnets...but small ones aren't as big a screw-holder as you think.  I still want the cover though...I suppose I'm more clumsy...I've knocked trays off stuff off the bench many times and am always glad when I've "closed the lid".    As for sawdust...you are right, it doesn't break fasteners.  But enough of it covers them up and you won't know what's in there.   I also cart my stuff outside...and I'd like to think a lid helps against snow and rain.   Also,  I tend to have several lengths of the same screw type in a common box... it's nice when I can see what I want.   As for plexi,  I've a few boxes made this way, and they've worked for me.  But I do get your points."

  • "Don't get me wrong, I like most of DiResta's stuff and techniques and awful lot.  But a screw caddy with no lid?   It's *if* you're going to spill 2000 screws, it's *when*.    And hell, in a busy shop, you'll fill those nice open trays with sawdust in no time.  I like a clean fastener, doesn't everyone?     I'd add a free lid that registers on the edges of the box (and what a pretty box it is!) and maybe held with magnets.   Or, run a dado under the long edges and slide a 1/4" panel of plexiglas in there.   "
