It might take elbow grease and determination to make
something old look new again, but it takes special skill
to make something new look like an antique. One part of
the process of distressing is dealt with here: color
''burnthrough'', which involves layering colors and sanding
through areas to create years' worth of wear in a matter
or minutes.

When this cabinetmaker quotes a job and then comes up
short on cash at completion, he scratches his head over
why his estimate was too low. He's got a handle on
materials, but labor is another story... What system do
you use to ensure that you receive proper compensation?
