Hey all, wondering if you small cabinet shop guys have ever turned down work because the size of the cabinet was too large?
I dont have any employees and Ive gotten used to manuevering things arround to make do but i just finished a job that was very difficult for me because of the size of cabinet. 6'Lx48Hx30"D.. 2 of those stack on top of eachother and another 18"Lx9'Hx30"D.
Im still learning this business and I enjoy the work but this was too much. had to buy 2 10' sheets and just handeling them was tough. Then I made a couple errors that cost me because I could only get 1 cut from a sheet being they were 30" wide. Transporting them I had to rent a trailor because they wouldnt fit in my 7' bed. This whole job has been like this and I understand now why sheets are 4x8 and cabinets are generally 23 1/4 deep or smaller. Do you guys ever try to take on a job like this by yourself? I now Im not.
