Holy Moly.

Hey I've got some tools like yours too: Omni Cubed & Gorilla Grip!!! Hehehe!

I'm sooo jealous!!!

You must have got tons of kitchens/week to feed that shop!

Nhi

I've used Artisan a couple of times and liked the look alot.

What about AmeriSink? (AmeriSink.com)? Any thought/experiences? I'm using their sinks alot but never questioned their quality like how Joe posted. Please advice.

Thanks.

Nhi

I'm really thankful for the advice and everyone's generousity.

Mark, you're in water sport too? I went white water kayak once and it's really fun. Most of the time I go jetskiing and rafting. Been busy with kids (a 2.5 years old & a 7 mos) lately.

Kris probably only needs a tool box or two, as a safe to put his ... money selling the phantom. Haha

I have 2 flat bed trucks for sale. I'm trying to get some money for a seam phantom. Hehehe. - Ford F450 2004, roughly about 97K mile, diesel, 16' long bed, single cab, auto. - Ford F450 2003. Similar specs. Asking $12000 each. But for my fellow fabricator, I'm willing to make great deal. If you buy ...

That's why I'm itching of getting it. It's just that my volume (& profit margin) is so low :oops: I'm been trying to save up for it but it's still a big investment. I know, I know, a couple of referrals away will do it good. But, but, but, hehehehe. I've been trying to nag Kris for a deal, he's almo...

Agree! We abuse tools alot (not taking care of them, not having the right vehicle when transport them to job site, not so organized, etc...). But my gorilla grips still in mint condition. Just saying!

I mis typed. When I said miter seams, I meant to say euro miter or lock miter seams. Nhi is primarily doing prefabs so the euro miter or lock miter seam is mostly what he does.

Yes sir, that's what I'm dealing with.

I don't know about the raising part. We dress the entire seam up to the edge detail, this amounts to 24.75" of a 25.5" counter top. This is clearly more than 60%, over 97% to be precise. We dress the angled edge detail by hand. Good morning. Anyone staying at home to watch women world cup today? :)...

So Kris & Dan, do you raise the straight edge up on your inside corner piece like Kris mentioned so the buff pad can dress up to the corner? Kris, what I meant by 50-60% is that with this setup, I can only dress the straight edges of the seam, but not back grind on the inside corner piece if I raise...

Mark, Again thanks for your input. I do offer slab cutting options. But here in the Bay Area - specially in my "territories", most remodeling projects are for flips or for mid range houses where people preferred the prefab price range. For slab cutting jobs (really really really small percentage for...

Thanks everyone for replying. Mark, I spoke to Kevin about his Accu-Seam. The only thing I'm pondering about is the quality difference between the buffing wheel (Kevin's) and turbo buffing pad (Kris'). Kevin said his tool will yield the same result as that of the seam phantom. Did any one care enoug...

Good morning everyone. Hope those of us in the states had a great long weekends. Mine wasn't long enough. Haha I hope This is the right section for this post. I talked to Kris the other day about his seam phantom. He was mentioning that someone in here made a jig to use it for the European miter (te...

Haha. I know you guys not talking about literally wraping it up. But yeah, my bad. I totally missed the joke . (still do )

Man, speaking of wraping, I kinda abuse my rails a lot. From now on, I'll try to take good care of it. Just found out the other day, these rails cost an arm and a leg. Deepwater, did you say you bring the saw with you? So you fabricate at jobsite too? If so, isn't the saw way toooooo heavy? I'm only...

So what's the verdict? When the dry pads will be out? Cost?

Thanks

OMG!!!! Unbelievable sad!!!

It makes me think about all the time I'm driving on the road (at least 4-5 hrs a day driving). More on road = more chance to get accidence, especially in my situation, always feel sleepy while driving

My greatest condolence to his family!

Cool. Thank you

Up early for a big job (non-fab) today. Gonna be a busy week, again.

My best wishes to everyone for a great week with full of easy jobs, but big profit

Man, you guys make me so itchy about joining too. I know the knowledge is never too much. But if you only fab stone about one kitchen or less per month, mostly prefab if not all, I'm still debating

ash20ash wrote:IMO. their cool looking and prob built well and all. But a router for edges would be more versital. For cutting sinks.........get a sink machine or just do it by hand.

What type of sink machine you're talking about?

Pretty cool. Thanks for the link

A naive question: is sfa all about stone fab only or about other material as well? (like solid surfaces, ect...) I ask the question because when comes to countertop, there are many choices other than granite. Same goes with material choices for bathroom. How about Thefabricatornetwork.com? Are most ...

Sorry for your loss as well. I totally agree with what you said. Experienced it first hand, not quite the same but similar situation. I lost my younger sister when she's only 23 :(, too busy with work to noticed changes in her actions/attitude. Still tied up with work. Dawn it. I'm buying lottery ti...

Hi Todd.

Who's selling the radial arm? Do you know what brand/year/condition and pricing for it?

Thanks
