Cooking up some 21' elliptical flitch plates.:chef:

Welding the CNC plasma cut steel parts that bolt up in between the plywood bread.

Some renders for context.

Brent,

Do you has a plasma cutter on your CNC machine?
The 3D drawings are excellent. Especially, with the APA plywood stamp.

We have a separate 5'X10' CNC Plasma machine. We are doing a lot more projects with bigger spans and structural components - it's less expensive and faster to do flitch plate assemblies than it is to make up curved LVLs.

Thanks for the compliment on the drawings - we are slowly getting better at the automated rendering settings. We hired a 3D Modeler with video game experience, and his knowledge of rendering is very helpful.

I'll post some updated pictures after installation - It's going to Brooklyn on Wednesday night.

Some more shop pics.

And install in Brooklyn, the test bed for car horn manufacturers.

:whistling where you get that plywood? :laughing: Jolly green giant APA stamp?

Visually distorts the scale of an otherwise nicely lit/rendered model.

Ya I'm nit picking butt crack, but that could be a really exceptional photo real render.

We have a giant stamp. Real APA plywood is too expensive, so we buy Asian import stuff and stamp it ourselves.:laughing:





This is not true, all ye who can't handle a little fun. :no:

I'll have Rich adjust the next one for you!

:laughing: My over developed sense of scale thanks you :thumbsup:

Everything is bigger in Texas. :laughing:

I did some elliptical arches in some building but next renter destroy most of it. Just part is saved.

Starting the third floor tomorrow.

Starting the third floor tomorrow.

Looks nice and warm :thumbup:

It's been really nice over here. I've never worked a winter where I could work in short sleeves and glove less. Usually I'm dressed head to toe in layers.

A showhome with a tight deadline... Took 4.5 days and a few nights

 

[C2projects]

Been quiet in these parts lately. Set trusses today. Probably one of the smaller roofs we've done in a while. Will still have a bunch of Jack trusses to set and skirt roof around on the lower level.

I could post the same 20 homes we've been doing to liven this thread up, but it would bore y'all...

 

[Framer87]

This happened a while back while framing...

 

[kiteman]

They actually say y'all in Alberta? Where are you, Alberta, Texas?

That happened to me last year. $225 later, and it was freed up.
