Check out these interviews that FlexiJet had with Rick Jeske at GlassBuild America 2024!
Interviewer: Hey Rick, So when you added the FlexiJet to your shop, what kind of impact did you see when it came to your install process?
Rick: One thing we’ve started and got into a habit of when we’re out on site and we’re measuring with the Flexijet, we’ve started to put down tape and leave corners marked out for the guys. So, when they go back out for the finished product to install glass, they don’t have to guess, they don’t have to hand fit. They know center lines and things ahead of time. So it’s so much faster, They don’t sit and guess. We’ve got center points marked out where miters come together. We’ll even put a piece of blue tape on the ceiling. We can have Flexijet judge and show us where that point is and it speeds them up.
Interviewer: Hey Rick, So when you added the FlexiJet to your shop, tell me about that process a little bit.
Rick: Well, you ever been watching a movie and they’ve got Easter eggs hidden right in the movies that are kind of like fun things for people to find? So, to me, little details like that are unnecessary are like Easter eggs that as a glass Craftsman, those are like Easter eggs that we hide into our jobs because we can. The finished product, gives us, like the clients are saying “we don’t know why this looks so good, but it looks amazing”. So, we just geeked out because we could and we’ve got four sections of railing glass and we’ve got a perfect one inch gap through all four sections of glass that you can stand back against the wall and you can see bare wall through two pieces that go up to the first landing, the piece that goes to the upstairs landing, and the piece that goes down to the bottom basement landing. There’s a one-inch gap that’s perfectly lined up. Who else would do that? We can! That’s why we do it.
