The Fulton School
For the third day of my senior project I spent my time working on the next step of the process in making a cabinet which was lamenting the sides of the wood. When the wood is cut the sides that will be exposed and visible in the final cabinet aren’t finished and are just rough pieces of wood. To fix that they have a machine that automatically adhere the finishing laminate to the thin sides of the cabinets and shelves. I basically spent the entire day operating the machine you can see below. I learned how advanced some of the machines that they have are, and how much they speed up and ease the workflow of creating the cabinets and was very impressed by what it could do. Below are images of the machines, as well as before and afters of the wood I put through it.

I never knew how the wood was made to look so nice but I see know that a finishing piece is adhered to the edge. It looks really good.
Another machine to add to our Makerspace wish list.
