New Line of Hoods

The Mark I island and wall mount hood line introduced by Goodwin of California gives kitchens a touch of elegance.

With a rectangular bell shape (formed and handcrafted from cold rolled steel finished in baked-on matte black, trimmed in brass, copper or stainless steel) it is custom designed and harmonizes with any decor.

The built-in blower/vent system, completely pre-wired, efficiently clears away smoke and odors, keeps kitchens clean and fresh. Engineered for simple installation, it is particularly adaptable for remodeling projects as well as new home construction.

Lightweight Hand Saw

An extremely lightweight hand saw that can cut anything from sheet rock to frozen steak has been developed by John Siravo.

The invention is a hand held electric motor driven rotary saw with detachable and interchangeable cutting heads. The saw blade is driven through bevel gears in the head and is protected by a shield pivotably mounted.

There is a fixed shield to allow for depth adjustment. The saw is light in weight and can cut straight or round shapes in a variety of materials including wood, sheet rock and frozen meat.

He is now negotiating for the sale or licensing of his invention to interested manufacturer.
