  • Chainsaw Safety
    QUICK CARDTM Chainsaw Safety Operating a chainsaw can be hazardous. Potential injuries can be minimized by using proper personal protective equipment and safe operating procedures. Before Starting a Chainsaw • Check controls, chain tension, and all bolts and handles to ensure that they are functioning properly and that they are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • Make sure that the chain is always sharp and that the oil tank is full. • Start the saw on the ground or on another firm support. Drop starting is never allowed. • Start the saw at least 10 feet from the fueling area, with the chain’s brake engaged. Fueling a Chainsaw • Use approved containers for transporting fuel to the saw. • Dispense fuel at least 10 feet away from any sources of ignition when performing construction activities. No smoking during fueling. • Use a funnel or a flexible hose when pouring fuel into the saw. • Never attempt to fuel a running or HOT saw. Chainsaw Safety • Clear away dirt, debris, small tree limbs and rocks from the saw’s chain path. Look for nails, spikes or other metal in the tree before cutting. • Shut off the saw or engage its chain brake when carrying the saw on rough or uneven terrain. • Keep your hands on the saw’s handles, and maintain balance while operating the saw. • Proper personal protective equipment must be worn when operating the saw, which includes hand, foot, leg, eye, face, hearing and head protection. • Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. • Be careful that the trunk or tree limbs will not bind against the saw.

  • A Timber-Framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh
    Anne Crone and Diana Sproat Revealing the History Behind the Facade: A Timber-framed Building at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh The property at No. 302 Lawnmarket, Edinburgh, is a rare survival of a ‘timber land’, the timber-framed buildings that were once commonplace along the city’s Royal Mile and elsewhere in Scotland in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Two painted panels survive as components of the timber frontage, providing insights into the nature and function of the galleries that projected from these buildings. The building also retains fragments of two richly decorated board-and-beam ceilings, the beams of which have been successfully dated by dendrochronology. One possible interpretation of the dendrochronological results is that multi-storied tenements such as No. 302 may not have been conceived as such but were built upwards in stages, the platform-framing of the box-like construction allowing for storey-by-storey development. Background Between 2006 and 2008, AOC Archaeology Group undertook a detailed survey of Nos. 302–304 Lawnmarket, two Category A listed tenement buildings located within the Old Town of Edinburgh. The work was undertaken as part of a planning condition for the redevelopment of a large plot located at the junction between George IV Bridge and the Lawnmarket, now the Missoni Hotel. The buildings have now been incorporated into this development, with shops on the ground floor and hotel accommodation on the upper levels (Figure 1). As with many of the medieval tenements along the Royal Mile, the buildings have, throughout their history, provided commercial premises on their ground floors and basements, and accommodation in the upper floors.

    We are Wonderwall Studios. This is our story. UPCYCLE HONESTY CRAFTMANSHIP Wonderwall Studios is a creative studio that designs and produces wooden panelling for walls and surfaces. We use exclusively salvaged wood and employ local professional craftsmen. You could say we craft locally and rock globally. FUTURE EXPLORE DEVOTED OUR PHILOSOPHY At Wonderwall Studios we believe strongly in taking proper care of the communities we work in and the people we work with. The local craftsmen we work with are professional carpenters and tradesmen. We pay an honest wage for an honest days work. And we treat everyone as we would our own family and friends. The woods we use are therefore exclusively salvaged from abandoned houses, derelict sheds, rail road-sleepers, naturally fallen trees and old floors. Anything goes really, as long as it’s reclaimed. We are all about joyous materials and sustainability through reclamation. OUR PRODUCTION AND DESIGN PROCESS We keep everything we do in-house: From the reclamation of the wood to the design, marketing and selling of the collection. Of course we do everything we do with great care. But it’s our design process that we are particularly fond and proud of. During our searches for suitable wood, we always keep our eyes open for any new trends and styles. Fully inspired we head back home or to the workshop and let the creative juices flow. We sketch, doodle, draw and throw stuff at the wall and we discuss our design ideas with the woodworkers. They’ll tell us which wood type will work best for each design.

  • Portable Sawmill - Our Guide to an Economic and Practical Approach to Forest Utilization
    PORTABLE SAWMILL - OUR GUIDE TO AN ECONOMIC AND PRACTICAL APPROACH TO FOREST UTILIZATION By L.S.T. (Stan) Griffiths1 Abstract For many years the coconut palm has been to many the tree of life. Not only has it provided food and drink, but, shelter and heat. It is therefore understandable the reasons why there is some reluctance to destroy this commodity that, has served them so well, howev'er senile and unproductive. In this modern world with its rapidly diminishing lumber supplies due to indiscriminate logging, overcutting, slash and burn cultivation and the creeping sprawl of cities into rural areas where trees make way for roads and progress, it is little wonder that conservationists have taken up the cause to halt or control further diminishing of native forests. The shortage that has been created of millable timber has increased costs for building materials so alternatives have to be sought. Throughout tropical territories, an abundance of timber is available in the form of the coconut palm, that has many properties that can fill many of our lumber needs. Being a relatively new product compared with traditional timbers, new methods have to be discovered to process, market and use cocowood to its best advantage. I have attempted to put together a comprehensive paper outlining basic machinery to process coconut palm, from the standing tree to a finished product suitable for everyday needs. Cocowood Felling and Processing The felling of coconut palm stems is sometimes very difficult, as many plantations have young or producing trees in the immediate vicinity requiring care to be taken not to damage them.

  • Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber
    Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC Up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber Scott Breneman, PhD, SE, WoodWorks – Wood Products Council • Matt Timmers, SE, John A. Martin & Associates • Dennis Richardson, PE, CBO, CASp, American Wood Council In January 2019, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). Based on these proposals, the 2021 IBC will include three new construction types—Type IV-A, IV-B and IV-C—allowing the use of mass timber or noncombustible materials. These new types are based on the previous Heavy Timber construction type (renamed Type IV-HT) but with additional fire-resistance ratings and levels of required noncombustible protection. The code will include provisions for up to 18 stories of Type IV-A construction for Business and Residential Occupancies. Based on information first published in the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) 2018 Conference Proceedings, this paper summarizes the background to these proposals, technical research that supported their adoption, and resulting changes to the IBC and product-specific standards. Background: ICC Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee Over the past 10 years, there has been a growing interest in tall buildings constructed from mass timber materials (Breneman 2013, Timmers 2015). Around the world there are now dozens of timber buildings constructed above eight stories tall. Some international examples include: Building Completion Location Stories Name Date Stadhaus
