Hit 200 custom drawer boxes this month and it finally clicked

I've been doing cabinets for about 8 years now, but last month I finished up 200 drawer boxes for a big kitchen remodel in Greenville. Seeing that number on the tally sheet made me realize how much my workflow has changed since I started out. Anyone else have a production milestone that caught them off guard?

Oh man, that's wild! 200 in a month is no joke. What gets me is how the mental game shifts - I bet your brain is now wired to think in multiples of like 8 or 16 without even trying. My old boss used to say that after you hit 1000 total boxes, you start seeing the assembly line in your sleep, lol. Bet your corners are getting tighter and your glue-ups faster without even thinking about it now.

Nah, after 200 you just get numb to it.
