And that is connected to part two, the scrubby part. It's a circular disc. It sort of looks like a hockey puck that's been wrapped in chain mail. Those are the two main parts. And in early 2021, Destin begins the design process for real, turning that first rough draft idea into a more sophisticated prototype.

I saw a video of Destin's computer screen that showed him designing the puck in the design software, CAD.

It was a puzzle, frustrating at first, but then Destin found himself losing track of time the way you do when you're working on any good puzzle.

For Destin, the next step was to take these 3D printed parts and find someone who could build an injection mold. The injection mold lets you make plastic parts at scale by filling a cavity with hot plastic that then cools. That handle of your toothbrush, probably. Somewhere in a factory in China. An injection mold shaped like that handle makes handle after handle after handle.

So Destin wants to find someone who can make an injection mold shaped like his barbecue scrubber parts, but who is based in America. Early 2021, Destin and his partner John visit an injection mold company that's not too far from them.

Because normally what they would do is they would have a guy in China. The guy in China would make the mold, send the mold to the plant in America, and then they would make the plastic part in America?

So when you were at Little Debbie, it's like the machine that makes the snack cakes is... The tool is the tooling and then the snack cakes are the product of the tooled machine?
