=> 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.

=> Knowledge Base Highlights

An ornate gate opens up this discussion about natural wood
finishes that are durable enough to brave mother nature. 
Does such a finish even exist? Factors such as
environment, wood species, and maintenance are all covered
here:

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.

This article considers the notion that a good incentive
pay program for employees can increase production and 
inspire staff. Read on to learn about the success others
have had implementing such systems:

An overly complicated kitchen design means the cook will

=> Hot Threads

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?
http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/forums/install.pl?read=550959

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:

Homemade vacuum bag setups are under review at the Veneer
Forum. Share pictures and details of your own setup at:

The corner cabinet crops up again. Does an elegant
solution exist for this awkward area in kitchen design?
