I think most of these mfg's pay by piecework so the faster you wield the stapler, the more you make.westend wrote:Like i said in the video, use some cardboard on your drills so they don't ever make contact with the material.That is unnecessary if you know how to use a power tool and would never be done in a production environment.
Jayco Plant area 62 video Maybe that will give you an idea of the pace and quality concerns when building 32 of these TT's in a day.
That was a scary video.. how many mistakes do you think they make when they're working that fast. Even the cleaning lady near the end basically stuck her duster in the cabinet with a single short sweep and pulled it out. LOL
Did you see the cabinets get thrown down the chute and thrown on the deck? That is how you get a face frame out of plumb. The installer grabs the cabinet, positions it on the deck, and blasts some screws through it. He doesn't grab a level or a tape measure and become a quality assurance controller, he is only the operating end of a screw gun.
That video is a real eye opener. I bet a video of any other brand would look much the same. Seeing how they are almost tacked together makes me worry about where we take ours.
