New Cabinet Maker and Solid Surface Counter Top Fabricator.
Last week I completed a solid surface counter top seminar for Avonite and I'm about to begin a new adventure. From the short time I've been visitng here, I've gleaned that a number of participants are professional cabinet makers and possibly fabricate countertops.
I'm trying to learn all I can from the inside of the industry and I'm hoping the pro's can share a little information with me.
A. What trade rags/magazines do you read/subscribe to? There is always useful information in them.
B. I need a few tools and could use some advise on how to get them as inexpensively as possible, even used if possible. I need an adhesive gun. Any leads where one can be had used? I need the type NOT used by Corian and Hi MACS. The type used by Avonite/Fountain Head would work. Also, I'm looking for a tool from Monument Tool Company called a "Parallign" system which is a vacuum powered clamp system. They offer them in both vacuum powered and venture created vacuum driven by a compressor.
Thanks in advance... hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.
