Woodworking operations are changing with new technology even in small shops. Will Sampson, editor of FDMC and Woodworking Network, continues his interview with Amanda Conger, executive director of the CMA, talking about growing CNC use in even small shops. Sampson also discusses his own personal woodworking path to the 21st century.

The Cabinet Makers Association was formed in 1998 by a group of custom cabinetmakers who saw a need for a professional organization to serve small- to mid-size woodworking shops in the United States and Canada.
