More Power
S01E02: Blades
Tim Allen, Richard Karn, and April Wilkerson dissect the mighty power of blades. Starting in Tim’s workshop, they show what happens when a hand gets caught in a garbage disposal, and make a home-milling machine that you can build yourself. Later, they hit the road to check out massive industrial blades, including a metal-shearing guillotine and a mega-shredder that tears up 600 cars an hour. It’s cutting edge stuff!
Overview
Tim Allen and Richard Karn are back in the shop to continue their quest for More Power. With the help of DIY Expert April Wilkerson, they’re putting all kinds of tools to the test. The trio will tackle one tool-centric theme per episode and celebrate the coolest, most powerful and iconic examples of each tool—testing their limits in a way that only Tim can. Along the way, they’ll open the doors to Tim’s workshop and invite some of the most skilled makers from around the country to show off their creations before then heading out on field trips to play with the biggest machines that keep our world working.
