rigid standards

this past week we brought our vacuum pumps out. We had to buy a new bag and make a new base board for the bag but the pumps that we have are in fine shape. We are gluing up some curved panels for job 77. They are valances over the sink and the hood, the hood itself has a curved front and two curved sides. the use of the vacuum has not been existent for a few years in my shop. the primary reason was I never had the time to get it set up. Gagan took the reins on that and spent some time this week going thru our system and buying what he needed from the manufacturer. It is a system that is made locally by "quality vac" in Concord. It is a great business. The owner Ed started the company in his basement and now it is considered the best in the industry. The assembly of the units is still done in Concord. We are going to be using the system much more. I want to make a table that we can glue up panels of different sizes. being able to glue up a 30" by 120" piece would be very handy. I think that as I develop closet cabinetry and office cabinetry to compete with California closets a veneering operation system is critical. particularity for the desk tops. People always ask me to price out there wood tops with plywood and solid wood nosing. The problem with that is that the veneer you get is usually shabby and the plywood is warped. but being able to control those items I can create wooden tops economically that meets my rigid standards.
