The opportunity seems like a good one: a large shop that
can be leased at a low cost, a promising potential client
base, and steady production. But before this owner
considers growth, should he inspect his shop's efficiency
more closely?

With two men on the job of panel handling, this Holz-Her
vertical panel saw owner sees glaring inefficiency. After
a discussion about equipment additions and method
modifications, he walks away with some ideas on
streamlining his loading operation.

There are some inherent concerns when milling antique
lumber, hitting metal being chief among them. Still, the
market is there for barn-wood-turned-flooring. It turns
out there is a sensible set of precautions that can ease
your worry... and the wear on your planer knives.

With plywood prices climbing, an economizing cabinetmaker
wonders if it is acceptable to save money by using lighter
weight cabinet backs. Is quarter inch stock frugal... or
flimsy?

A commercial cabinetry and millwork operation has decided
to dangle the carrot in front of its sales force... But
first, they need to understand the basics of a
commission-based sales structure. If you have experience
switching from a salary-based format, or are curious about
the process, join in:

Calling all problem solvers! Solid wood... laminated
strips? The first challenge is to choose a material for
the curved edge of this L-shaped countertop. The second,
to pull off the construction properly.

The owner of this shop finds that his problems lie in
communication, rather than construction. He wishes his 10
employees would act as a team, rather than as adversaries.
How can he inspire a desire to cooperate?

The call is out for anyone with experience using a vacuum
