Automation, opportunities, and jobs, part 1 – with Kathy and Tony Everett
Will Sampson talks about automation in woodworking and whether the way automation is sold misses the mark. His guests are Kathy and Tony Everett, owners of Millwork on 31st in Charlotte, North Carolina. They went from a successful career in automotive parts manufacturing to buying an architectural millwork firm. They’ve updated the company with automation and lean manufacturing, but what really makes them stand out is their approach to employees.
