J.W. Lane and Son, Cabinetmakers
Listing #635   Listed on: 04/25

We build residential and commercial cabinetry for one of the fastest growing markets on the Gulf Coast. We were in the woodworking business on a part-time basis for many years while I was in the Air Force. I retired in 2002 after 23 years and worked in Civil Service for 3 years. Our move to full-time cabinet making came in the wake of Hurricane Katrina which did major damage to our area. We haven't looked back. My wife is very active in the business and our twelve year old son is steadily taking his place in the shop as well.

In addition to our family members we have two full time employees.

We want to keep things small and keep it fun. I'm living out my dream. When it stops being fun, it will be time to quit.

I have he exact same edge bander.! I love mine. You? But I don't know how much longer I can afford to buy them. They only last about 5 years and now they are up to 12.00 at k-mart.

I dropped the whole dang machine one day. It still worked!

Nice lay out.

I love my edgebander too. My wife says you can even do something to clothes with it too although she's never demonstrated it for me (I better be careful or 'll pay for a comment like that. I still enjoy 'chewing' my food. :-)).

Gordon, thanks for all the advice and counsel through the years. Without your help I'd still be in the garage (acutally our finishing operation still is!)
Regards
Jack

Aw Shucks..I thought I was the only one still using that particular hi-tech edgebander.
That one looks like a little more sophisticated one than mine though.

Jack have the same Kremlin rig you have but wanted to ask you what the "funnel" looking thing is over on the left side? Nice shop, is the SpeedSander single or 3 phase? Was thinking about getting a 3-phase 37" just like that how do you like it? Also have a that same edgebander!!

That funnel is a gravity feed hopper that you can order through your Kremlin dealer. It's expensive; About $450 with the manifold on the bottom of the pump, but man is it convenient. Particulary for clean-up and of course for spraying small amounts of material. I've never spent $400 more wisely! It would be fairly easy to make although this particular one has a lid on top and a strainer inside.

Love the SpeedSander although have only had it about a month. It's three phase. It works great and with a little layout planning, 37inches isn't a problem. I really wanted/needed a 43" but that was years away in the budget. It seems that these hold their value well so a couple of years down the line maybe I can swing the bigger sander. It's UNBELIEVABLE how much work these things save. Thanks

Jack,
I really like your face frame rack. Is it just made out of 2x4's. Are the angle blocks at the bottom all that is needed to support all the weight? What kind of pipes did you use, Steel or maybe aluminum? How far apart are the holes . I prefinish all my face frames, This is much better than the one I use now.

Do you use this rack also for drying drawers or do you have a different rack?

Thanks for the help

Dave

That frame rack is the product of three years of 'talking about it' with my guys and has been a big help. We dry frames, trim, end panels or whatever on it. We use prefinished ply for our drawers but it would work fine for drying drawers. It's made completely of 2x4s and the pipes are 1/2" ID conduit. The casters are Lowe's specials. One day I'd like to put better ones on it that all swivel. The blocks at the bottom seem to hold the uprights just fine. We've had it loaded down many times with no problems. The holes are 3" apart and are 3/4" diameter although, I think 11/16 would be better. They're angled up a few degrees as well. There's a little box between two of the uprights on the right side to store the conduit that's not being used.

I don't have anything on it right now. I'd be happy to send you photos if you like. Just shoot me an email.
Regards
Jack
