My new job...


I now work at Custom Cabinets by Brent in Manti. I am a cabinet maker and it is a more busy job than homebuilding and I also like it better than homebuilding. I don't have to work outside all year long, it is really nice. In the summer, it is air conditioned, and in the winter, it is heated by a wood stove that burns the scrap wood. I really like my job and I think it is really great. My boss is really nice too, it is just me and my boss working in there.
The shop is all metal so you can't have a cell phone in there because all that metal around you and would kill it. So Brent doesn't have a cell phone. We also have a pet cat around the shop and her name is Kitty.

The inside of the shop. Well built.


This table saw is worth $40,000 and it is all computerized. It is really nice because it is mainly used for cutting laminate wood sheets and plywood to the very perfect square. I love this machine because you don't need a tape measure to adjust the fence, you just type the measurement and it will adjust automatically! He also has a $250,000 machine to laminate wood edges for shelves.



Spray Room. Sometimes you have to wear a mask if you are spraying a lot of varnish.




We sanded, stained, and put 3 coats of varnish on all these doors and drawer fronts. It took us three days. This job takes a lot patience. And to make sure it is done right with no mistakes at all.
