American restore is a television reality series which follows Rick Dale, his family and their antique restoration business in Las Vegas. Over the course of six seasons, Rick and his team restored classic American antiques to their original condition. As they did so, they helped preserve American History by restoring antiques to their original glory.
Rick Dale's original show cast consisted of his wife Kelly as well as their teenage son Tyler. All three worked at Rick's Restorations Las Vegas. Rick's older brother Ron joined them on the show.
As a spin-off of Pawn Stars, the show followed Rick and his family at their antique restoration shop in Vegas. The first season was produced by Leftfield Pictures, with the series eventually moving to the History Channel for seasons 5 through 6.
Rick and his team were given the task of restoring everything, from soda machines and gas pumps to family heirlooms. They had a mix between regular folks and celebrities like singers Billy Joel or Jason Mraz.
They enjoyed the process of restoring these antiques. They often had to put in a bit of elbow grease, as well as some TLC. Some of the items they found were not worth spending time or money on.
Despite this, the show's production was still extremely entertaining, and it was a major hit with audiences. The show appeared several times on History’s hit series Pawn Stars. Danny "The Count” Koker was a huge fan.
The show was unique in many ways, including the antiques that they worked with. One of the most memorable elements was the wagers the crew made with eachother.
They decided to play the game when they were restoring their arcade strength tester. The amount of money they received depended on the winner. A 1950s Kotex vending device was also painted pink as part of a breast-cancer fundraiser auction.
They also developed the habit of sandblasting. The sandblasting wasn't always part of the normal workday but they soon got into it.
Another big part of the show was Brettly Otterman, Rick's stepson from his previous marriage. He was an excellent picker, and he could also do well with sandblasting.
Kelly, Rick's successful wife and estate agent, has also taken up embroidery. She helps Rick run the business on a daily basis and is a supportive mother to Tyler.
After a few years on the show, Rick and his family were let go from the show by the History Channel. This led to the seventh and final series of the show. It didn't feature Rick's Restorations Las Vegas. Five other restoration shops instead were featured.

How To
How to use 5S to increase Productivity in Manufacturing
5S stands as "Sort", Set In Order", Standardize", Separate" and "Store". Toyota Motor Corporation developed the 5S method in 1954. It improves the work environment and helps companies to achieve greater efficiency.
The idea behind standardizing production processes is to make them repeatable and measurable. Cleaning, sorting and packing are all done daily. These actions allow workers to perform their job more efficiently, knowing what to expect.
There are five steps that you need to follow in order to implement 5S. Each step requires a different action to increase efficiency. If you sort items, it makes them easier to find later. Once you have placed items in an ordered fashion, you will put them together. You then organize your inventory in groups. Finally, label all containers correctly.
Employees need to reflect on how they do their jobs. Employees must be able to see why they do what they do and find a way to achieve them without having to rely on their old methods. They will need to develop new skills and techniques in order for the 5S system to be implemented.
The 5S method increases efficiency and morale among employees. As they begin to see improvements, they feel motivated to continue working towards the goal of achieving higher levels of efficiency.
