=> WOODWEB Launches Sawmill Gallery
Participants at WOODWEB have often expressed interest in
how fellow professionals outfit their sawmills and primary
processing operations. With that in mind, we've created
the Sawmill Gallery - where sawyers and log handling
companies can upload photos of their sawmill operation,
the products produced, and provide basic information about
the setup of their sawmill.
Creating a listing at the Sawmill Gallery is easy, and
free: all you need is a digital camera. To create your
Sawmill Gallery listing, follow the link below, then click
the "Post Your Sawmill Listing" link found in the lower
blue bar at the Sawmill Gallery.

=> Featured Project
The up-close shots in this WOODWEB Project Gallery listing
provide great glimpses at the joinery and wood grain in
this redwood deck. And don't miss the builder's cherry
media center photos under "View more projects by this
member" at the top of the listing.

An exhausted sawyer decides he needs a higher production
machine in order to work faster... and subsequently sleep
more. A hydraulic mill may be the answer, but others urge
him to consider his business practices along with his
equipment choices.

There are too many cooks in this kitchen, and trouble
comes when plans are viewed under the lens of ADA code
compliance. A general contractor, an architect, a team of
carpenters, and the cabinetmaker are all involved... who
is responsible?

Costs and profits in the world of cabinetmaking are a
perennial topic of interest at WOODWEB's Forums. This
thread begins with an analysis of material costs for an
inset face frame kitchen, and an invitation to join in the
debate:
