I thought for sure that working at a cabinet shop would be a great addition to the experience I want. In this instance, it was not.
Assembly was based on speed, not quality. They cared more about how fast you could crank out the cabinets. Not to mention the strange and wasteful design.
No one wore safety gear. Glasses, earplugs, dust masks. The dust collection was non-existent around the work stations, piles and piles of dust at the miter saws powdery dust all over every surface. The dust collector at the table saw and planer was "enough" according to the owner.
I was forced to buy tools to use. They only provided the pneumatic nailers, an orbital sander, pipe clamps, and a drill/impact with batteries that couldn't hold a charge. You provided everything else, hammers, smaller clamps, nail sets, chisels, screwdrivers, putty knife drill bits, driver bits, even standing mats, all on you.…
