how we do it

the bottom photo's are of a library that we started installing this week. If you look at the picture of the panel laying flat you will see how I trim the panels to the correct length on the job using a festool skill saw. The tricky part is that the panel molding protrudes beyond the face of the panel so you can see how I used pads that the track of the skill saw ride on. then you can see how they look when they are attached to the wall. this is a mahogany frame with a African cherry burl veneer, it also has a red mahogany stain.

the next picture is of a tool box that I use for high rise condo jobs, where getting tools in and out of the job is very time consuming. So I leave my tools on site in a locked file cabinet that I have converted into a tool box. the whole thing is on casters so it can easily be moved around the site in and out of peoples way. it becomes sort of my site office, and it has many supplies that help not only me but anybody who may need them.

the top pictures are of a kitchen job. the point here is a technique that I am using for leveling the cabinets. You can see the leg levers under the cabinets. I can set the whole bank of lower cabinets that have the skirts applied at a height higher than they are going to go, I can then scribe them as a whole to an unleveled floor. I then take off the levelers and then screw on the plywood skids that the cabinet will ultimately sit on. the height of the shims is equal to the amount that I set the scribes too. it has worked very well.
