=> Knowledge Base Highlights
There may come a time in the life - and growth - of a
business when the shop owner has to hand off some of his
or her well-worn hats. But first... when adding a
salesperson to the team, just which responsibilities
should the boss relinquish? And how should the new hire be
paid?

It's the tile setter vs. the trim carpenter in a heated
debate over the job site.. Just whose turn - and whose
turf - is this, anyway?

This installer is fed up with his own methods of
estimating. How do other cabinet installers win bids
without losing their butts? By the hour, by the box,
taking a percentage, and more...

In the planning stages of a project that calls for the
replacement of 30 cabinet doors with a five-piece, flat
panel door, a balance is sought. The panel should not be
too heavy *or* too flimsy, which means the material and
thickness must be chosen with care.

The mission: wipe out chatter from these hand-planed floor

machine for the job? Find out.

=> Hot Threads
A simple question regarding the construction of round
porch posts has opened up a real can of worms... Before
the details of an efficient production schedule can be
determined, a controversy over species stability must be
settled. Will the poplar being used stand strong, or will
it rot before the last nail has been set?

The decision to cope a 45 degree inside corner cabinet run
of pre-finished crown molding seemed fair enough, until
this installer came up against two inches of rock hard
maple, which only dulls his blades and stresses his saws.
The client is losing patience fast, and time is of the
essence. Can you help?

In an effort to eke out every inch of usable space, the
designer on this project has included a few toekick drawer
steps in a run of cabinets. The difficulties arise in the
details. Participants at the Cabinetmaking Forum are
brainstorming ways to construct these drawer-stools so
they're strong and safe. Add your ideas:

It seems there are as many reasons to run your raised
panels face up - or down - as there are contributors at
the Solid Wood Machining Forum. Tell us your thoughts on
which way is best... and why.
