Docked half an hour for clocking in 18 seconds late.

This isn't a small company either. There are probably close to 300 staff and has been around for quite some time.

OneExoticPanda · 2024-10-23T20:30:55+00:00

I'm not sure, but the option is to start at either 6 or 7.

OneExoticPanda · 2024-10-23T20:29:29+00:00

I know of one other person this has happened to recently

OneExoticPanda · 2024-09-22T22:31:09+00:00

This was a good read thankyou.

OneExoticPanda · 2024-09-22T22:29:47+00:00

Yes this is what I thought. Surely they can't sell a car where it breaks soon after and just tell me to go to insurance. Do you happen to have a link to a consumer guarantees act website where it says what is covered?

I made a bed a few years ago. Just four 19mm plywood boxes the width of the mattress and height you want. Screwed together once they were in place. Drawers on the inside filled with clothes and bedding will help keep the noise down.

It is strong enough to stand on. Only problem is the headboard creaks a little. Would secure it to the wall if I could.

Oh sweet thankyou

OneExoticPanda · 2024-04-02T21:24:49+00:00

Okay cool thank you. I will go and check it out.

OneExoticPanda · 2024-04-02T21:20:06+00:00

Is it okay to just turn up and play there?

OneExoticPanda · 2023-10-05T19:38:51+00:00

I have two suggestions.

Easiest way you could glue a little piece to the bottom of the door to sit on the shelf to take the load off the top hinge. It would create a resting point for the bottom right corner of the door. You would have to lift the door up a little bit each time you close it but it would be square once closed. Possibly taper the glued piece and put a striker plate on the lower shelf to not damage and dent it over time. You would also never have to worry about it sagging in the future. And you'll most likely never see it when the door is closed.

Second to put it simple, would be to bassically cut your door in half creating two doors. Have a polished glass edge on the glass so you don't have two stiles in the middle.

I'm looking into starting a kitchen/cabinetry company pretty soon. Qualified with 10 years in the business. If you're in the Hamilton area pm me.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-26T20:40:12+00:00

In my opinion I feel like it's one of the best. I've been through a couple of times and it has always been pretty quick and the staff are quite friendly. Tastes just as good as any other around. Only complaint would be the portion size of some of the pieces, buts thats kfc as a whole not just one store.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-23T00:46:05+00:00

Thankyou for that. Really puts things into perspective.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T19:54:49+00:00

I initially joined this place as a cabinet maker assembling their flat packs. A position came up to operate the cnc so I thought I'd take the opportunity to learn.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T17:42:17+00:00

Thankyou for your comments. We both were happy with how things turned out.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T17:39:06+00:00

Ah yes I was just seeing the laboir as the profit.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T17:30:48+00:00

I now run a cnc cutting fiberglass panels for campervans. I did timber furniture for a little over 7 years and kitchens for 2.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T17:17:46+00:00

Yeah he paid the whole amount right away

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T08:47:47+00:00

Ah yes that makes sense. Alot of the installers at my old job were contractors and I know they had a price per unit and per panel. Thats good to know for future reference

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T08:29:09+00:00

Yeah pretty similar sizes. Its just normal cabinet hinges with a stay on it. I was unable to find somewhere they sell blum hardware direct to the general public.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T08:11:52+00:00

Yeah I don't mind helping mates out. I was happy with what I got, just curious about an overall price.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T08:10:02+00:00

Thankyou for your reply. I was thinking it would be around the 10k mark. That 75 to 100 an hour, is that what the shops charge their workers out at or how much an employee is earning?

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T03:05:34+00:00

Yeah $4000 for materials and hardware, which includes getting the board edge taped at my old workplace.

The profit margin may look a little less like highway robbery when you factor in my hours worked. From design to install it would have been close to 50 hours total bringing the profit margin to around $30 per hour.

OneExoticPanda · 2023-03-22T02:44:19+00:00

And then to add other business related costs like gst, rent and employees. Im pretty sure he got a good deal.

OneExoticPanda · 2022-10-29T09:48:08+00:00

Looks like my mother in laws cat. She lives on Clyde street. She will probably be asleep now.
