Tom,
First of all, I hope we can meet up again, and this time dinner is on me!.
Unbelievable work!
Are you using the Festool system and track saw and rails most of the time?
Peter
Thank you for the kind words. Credit goes to my employees, they have learned well and understand that the better we do the better they do.
All of the sheet goods are processed with TS-55’s using the TSO PG’s and GRS’s. In an average month we’ll process 450-500 sheets.
A shaper is used for edge work on the sheets, be it tongues or lock miters.
Solid lumber I am having processed off site. I don’t have the power supply or the room necessary for a multi head machine. Processing was way to time consuming with track saw, table saw, jointer, planer, molder, sander.
Doors and drawer faces we make about 50% of them. Drawer boxes we make 95% of them. Once I get another space and if I can find the help I’ll move these to 100% in house. These can really screw up a schedule if the supplier has an issue.
All finishing is done in house. I just hired my first female employee, I hope she can learn the finishing process. She wouldn’t be the first young lady I’ve trained to do finishes. Currently I’m doing 95% of the finishing, makes for long evenings and weekends.
