Laminated wood frame

[AndersMalmgren]

Hi, it's taking such a damn long time with the frames because we have to align the warped frame timber we bought. Where can one get hold of laminated timber that's completely straight? It would save a lot of time when making the frames.

I would like to know that too..

Check with primpanel.se. They have frame wood of finger-jointed excellent pine. They are not located in Stockholm but I don't know how urgent it is for you.

As always, quite in a hurry, there's no time for planning ahead
Crazy that the crap they sell can't be used properly

Gladly accepting as many tips as possible btw

Dimension?

 

[AndersMalmgren]

45x95 but 50x95 would work too, for example, there's plenty of space in the door openings in the walls.

edit: The doors are from the 20s and all different, so I'll probably have to add a lining for the rebate depth.

Where/what have you bought?
Spontaneously, I would suggest going to a carpentry shop and ordering planed and rabbeted wood according to your measurements.
It doesn't take so long to set up the router and cut the rabbet. Then you can cut and do other things yourself if you want.
If it's not wider than 95 mm, I usually don't glue it together, and if we usually make the frames 43 mm thick so that it can plane 50 mm wood. If it needs to be thicker, then it will be glued.
An alternative is to glue together two thinner pieces, one of which is thinner to create a rabbet.

I can give tips on two places if you need help. In Åkersberga.

What type of timber have you bought?

It is my father who is chief over the snickerierna, I will ask him and get back to you.

Södermalm wood is it bought from, from a hypocrisy in Märsta

Darn hypocrisy...
Probably not furniture-dry wood or stored too cold/damp at the lumberyard.

You should have bought the lumber at Östermalmsträ. You can tell from the name that Södermalmsträ isn't to be trusted.
