Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Hi folks,
I have not visited the forum for quite a while. I have gotten away from doing kitchens, I have always been a really small one man shop, sometimes two. I have gone to one off furniture pieces and cutting my own parts. This is not necessarily by choice but just because this seems to be what ...

The best tip I can give you is to take one of Thermwood's classes, You will come out nearly up to full speed.

Thanks for the comeback Jean, I'll try it. Have you had any problem with it setting up in the gun?

Campbell finishing systems now makes a product called waterborne lacquer. I was wondering if anyone has tried it. It would make a big difference to those of us who are unable to spray solvent based finishes if it works.

I needed some fluted columns for a job a while back. I just drew them up sent the file to Chapman cabinets and received fluted columns when I picked up the parts. Didn't realize it was a big deal. Forrest did you have this problem?

I sat down with a client today to go over a very importaint job that has been months in the making.

I drove an hour each way, I made a big deal out of this meeting, we planed a month in advance,
this was a job that I finished designing weeks ago.

All this and you did not bother to turn on ...

Mike,
Man that smarts to get embarrassed in front of a customer. The good part of this experience is that will never happen to you again. When you calm down you will realize that this problem was not Thermwood's fault. Every previous version has had an expiration date, and notice was given.

The ...

Dan,
Sorry if my original response insulted your ability. I don't know if you just learned anything but I sure did. Best of luck as you get your sea legs with e-cabs.

Dan,

The answer to your question is yes. It is done in the part editor. Probably not the first thing I would want to tackle if just beginning to learn the software.

I am not aware of any way to do what you are asking. I had a situation where the builder flipped the home floor-plan because of a problem on the lot and didn't tell me until after the cabinets were built. I was surprised at how few changes were necessary

I know of a habitat complex where ...

David,
When in the display part editor, there is a save button on the left side of the screen next to the load button.
