• Board design and Appletree’s vacuum-infusion production method (Ep 19); the Appleslice V3 renewal (Ep 66).

• Ep 135 (Jorrit’s episode): the brothers split roles once production moved to Portugal — Jorrit stayed hands-on/production, Wieger kept the front-of-camera/business role; per Jorrit, Wieger still does the majority of his own sessions on Foil Drive.
