Norm used an HVLP sprayer on this project—one of the relatively few spray jobs he's done in the series.

Although the DJ-15 was used for the first time in this episode, you could see it sitting in wait in Episode One of this season.

The safety speech included closeup video of a ripping operation on the contractors saw with a push stick.

Norm started the safety speech with, “before we start woodworking…” instead of “before using any power tools…”

No field trip this episode.
