In my experience, someone who picks laminate over solid surface has no business telling me how to run my shop.
I own a small cabinet shop with three full-time workers. Last month, we had only two orders, and my team spent most days cleaning or doing busy work. I saw their energy drop, and one guy even started showing up late. What do other shop owners do to keep things lively when work is slow? I thought about starting training sessions on new joinery methods. But I worry it might feel like extra work without pay. Any tips from your experience would really help.
I tested wire channels on scrap wood to avoid mess in my builds. Some argue cutting into frames risks integrity, but others value the hidden look. How do you handle this?
I thought screws were enough for shelf support in cabinets. After a shelf COLLAPSED, I tried dados and the difference is NIGHT and day. What joint methods do you prefer for shelf stability?
