Lee Jesberger is a normal contractor. For most folks, 30 years of running a normal Contracting firm is adequate but obviously this man needs no sleep. In expanding to his contracting business, he is a scholar woodworker, writer, webmaster, trainer and creator of the Ezee-Feed Infeed/Outfeed System.
Lee runs a contracting firm that specializes in high-end renovations in Sewell, New Jersey, with his partner in crime, Bruce Driscoll. This dynamic duo is the Batman and Robin of the fine furniture/cabinet making world. I have posted a few of their projects below but you should in effect view more at their website.

Lee's typical day begins at the job-site where he calls himself a cabinet/furniture maker. This is an understatement. What he creates are works of art.
He then comes home and works in his backyard shop. Not a easy shed, this "man shack" has(almost), all the expert toys the boy wonder could want. Later into his night, he writes instructional articles and posts projects on his website. Sometime later, maybe after a midnight coffee break, he works on his side business: The Ezee-Feed Infeed Outfeed System.
The Ezee-Feed Infeed/Outfeed law was created as a effect of a need on a large renewal project. Tired of the problems created when using a Roller Stand, Lee created his own handy shop device that provides the same accuracy and ease of use as a sliding table saw But, at a fraction of the price. It is designed to enable one someone to in effect cut/rip sheet goods and rough lumber to measurements under 1/32 thick. This device reduces your corporeal exertion, while safely and accurately doubling your productivity. See the Ezee-Feed in action; go here now: http://www.ezee-feed.com.
Lee and Bruce embarked on a amount of Woodworking shows to promote the Ezee-Feed product. Two somewhat shy guys, posing as marketing professionals, they initially felt like bad used car salesmen. That is until folks began talking to them and realized that they were in effect experienced, expert cabinet/furniture makers. Lee and Bruce began talking about their projects and jobs, and woodworkers began asking them questions. The effect of those Woodworking Show inquisitions is the website http://www.prowoodworkingtips.com. This free reserved supply for woodworkers is packed full of data like a glossary of woodworking terms, free woodworking plans and tips, and instructions for cabinet door construction. Lee also participates regularly on a woodworkers forum called http://www.lumberjocks.com.
What does Lee find the most satisfying? Working with the client to give them the final stock that they want. It's that "Wow" factor that inspires him to constantly enhance his craft. He appreciates the beauty, grace and concern for proportion that 18th century American furniture makers adhered to. "And they closed all of this with primitive tools compared to what we use now," says Lee. "Being a contractor is like being a conductor in an orchestra. You have to bring the entire task together within budget and time constraints. It is often a frustrating job, especially if you end up working with habitancy who aren't especially competent, but the end effect and the clients' pleasure are make it all worth while," says Lee.
