Alex Coplo , a Bluffton architectural model and renderings specialist was contacted by producers from the new History Channel show, “Assembly Required,” to be part of the cast.
“They saw my postings on Instagram and reached out to me. At first, I’m thinking this is just a joke, but the more they reached out, the more I saw it was real.”
Coplo would be doing the show with hosts Tim Allen and Richard Karn, who previously paired together on the long-running ABC sitcom, “Home Improvement.”
History Channel producers came to Bluffton in November to film Coplo’s segment. He was supposed to be part of the show’s seventh episode, but show executives were so impressed with Coplo and his competitors, his episode was moved to be the Feb. 23 premiere of the show!
The show pits amateur makers against each other, giving them a project to complete with parts sent to each contestant’s home.
