What Trent Holman of Holmans Custom Cabinets looked for at IWF 2016
By Bill Esler

Trent Holman of Holmans Custom Cabinets in Sparta, Tennessee, says his father and brother have been to the International Woodworking Fair before, but IWF 2016 was his first visit to the show. What was he after?

"This is my first time coming and my brother and dad's been several times. I was just excited to see all the new equipment and everything out right now.
There are a couple CNC's with robot vacuum systems moving the plywood around. It is just some crazy stuff!"

So what was he looking forward to this week? "Just seeing what all that we can use in our cabinet shop, and take back home with us and hopefully upgrade all our stuff to make our jobs a little easier," says Holman.
