From the Ground Up

Stop cutting and fumbling with lumber blocks. Start forming faster with the reusable 9x11 Edge Form Bracket. The new bracket can be nailed, screwed or glued to lumber and concrete surfaces. Brackets can be stripped, stacked, saved and reused. The one-piece, wedge-shaped plastic design braces tilt-up edge forms. The Edge Form Bracket has a 9” side for thinner slabs (9” to 11”) and a 11” side for thicker slabs (11” to 13”). Both faces of the bracket have holes for attachment. [...]

It Comes Down to the Plywood!

The type of wood, number of veneers, laminating pressure, final sanding and overlay, all make a difference in plywood performance and longevity. In the side-by-side picture, you can see the extra veneers in SureBuilt birch compared to brand X. [...]

We will be reviewing every RFQ and PO, checking raw material availability, evaluating quantities and prices, and replying with a limited time confirmation and commitment. [...]
