Good stuff guys, Nice catch bin J, and your dogs are cool too!!! Now, how do you keep their hair out of the air in your shop lol.
We, 99.9% of the time have someone catching jobs so that a final eye ball is being done, as well as keeping things from getting wrinkled, and sorting being done ect ect. But, there are times when, say I may want to get something going at a certain time when that person isn't ready, or I have them doing something else, or I stay late, come in on the weekend, and paying someone to stand and catch a 100 piece order is, in my opinion a waste of their time, and our money. We've always had a huge modified/taped together box down there, but you know after time they just look like crap and after having all this new beautiful M&R gear put in, epoxy'd flooring and having people come by to see the place I'd really like something a little nicer. The runner is really nice. I like how you can buy bags, so if there is that day where someone calls in, or is late what ever, and we need to rock out, "which now with our new GT3", shirts freakin fly out of the dryer, we can let a job fall in a bag, and then put an empty in for the next set up and not have mix matched jobs. Honestly this probably would be a rare situation because I do believe the catcher is an important part of the whole final production process, but we also don't have the amount of abundant staff that some larger shops have. So with that, we have to get creative at times depending on work load and staff. One of my new guys is a professional carpenter and could knock out a few really nice looking rolling boxes like yours Jvanick. I may have him knock one out and see how we like it, it can always double as a test shirt bin if not, lol, but I'm sure it will do awesome since all these years have just been a cardboard box. Either way, like I said, it's not like that's how we roll all the time, but in a pinch it would be nice to have something that could contain a nice quantity.
