Today we will feature Rivendell Woodworks, Inc. in our continued celebration of National Small Business Week. Kanda Alahan founded Rivendell in 1975, initially crafting toys and fine furniture out of his home. By the early 80s, he moved into a commercial space and shifted his focus to custom cabinetry and millwork for kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Rivendell ultimately settled in Concord in 1996, and became a family business when Kanda's sons, Nandi, Jeremy (pictured), and Kendiah joined and have since became incorporated owners. The Rivendell team focuses on custom work for both residential and commercial customers and pride themselves on taking on a challenge, bringing life the most intricate and unique designs. The in-house CNC Milling machines allow them to provide a range of precision machined components in woods and plastics affording them the opportunity to build and install their creations.

Altendorf Group America-Edgebanding at the highest level "Knowing When to Replace Your Edgebander" Edgebanders are vital in woodworking shops, ensuring seamless and high-quality finishes. However, like all machinery, they have a lifespan. Recognizing when to replace your edgebander can save time, improve efficiency, and maintain product quality. Frequent Breakdowns and Repairs: If your edgebander is breaking down frequently, leading to increased downtime and repair costs, it might be time to consider a replacement. Constant repairs not only add to expenses but also disrupt workflow. Inadequate Performance: As edgebanders age, their performance can decline. If you notice a consistent drop in quality, such as poor trimming or glue application, it's a sign that the machine is no longer operating at its best. Technological Advancements: Woodworking technology evolves rapidly. If your edgebander is outdated, you might be missing out on new features that can enhance efficiency and quality. Modern edgebanders offer better precision, speed, and versatility. Increased Demand and Capacity Issues: If your business is growing and your current edgebander cannot keep up with the increased workload, upgrading to a more efficient model can help meet the higher demand without compromising on quality. High Operating Costs: Analyze the operating costs of your current edgebander. If they are consistently high, investing in a new machine could be more cost-effective in the long run. While replacing an edgebander involves upfront costs, the long-term benefits of improved efficiency, quality, and safety can significantly outweigh these initial expenses. Regular assessments and understanding the signs of aging in your machinery are key to making timely, cost-effective decisions in your shop. If you are on the fence about replacing your current edgebander give us a call at 704-360-4119 and we can help point you in the right direction of a new edgebander! info@altendorfgroupamerica.us #precisionmachining #edgebanding #germany #woodworking #altendorf

At Lone Star Packaging Solutions, LLC, we take pride in sourcing the best materials for our wood products. Today, we’d like to shed light on two types of commonly used lumber in our industry: Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) and Hardwood. Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) Lumber: • SYP trees grow relatively fast, taking about 20-30 years to mature. • Due to its fast growth rate, SYP is abundant and often more affordable. • SYP is known for its workability, making it ideal for various applications. • Despite being a softwood, SYP has high density and strength, making it suitable for structural uses. • SYP is less durable than hardwoods and requires treatment to enhance its resistance to decay and pests. • It generally has a more uniform and less distinctive grain pattern than hardwoods. Hardwood: • Hardwood trees take significantly longer to mature, often 40-100 years or more. • Hardwoods are known for their durability and longevity. • They offer rich, varied grain patterns and colors, making them highly desirable for furniture and fine woodworking. • Hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry are solid and resistant. • Due to the extended growth period, hardwoods are generally more expensive and more complicated to procure. • Some hardwoods can be challenging to work with due to their density and hardness. They both have their unique advantages and best use cases, and the good news is that we can help walk you through what would work best for your application. ☎️ (817) 473-1906 📧 sales@lspsllc.com

🌟🔙 At the beginning of the year, we want to take a look back to where it all started for RAMPA... 🕰️ When did it all begin? Even before 1907! While 1907 is the year of our foundation, the groundwork for today's RAMPA was laid even before then. Our founder Hermann Brügmann, together with his son Hans Hermann Nicolaus Brügmann, first started his own timber trade and later a carpentry business in Hamburg-Bergedorf. It was through their work as carpenters that they came up with the idea of RAMPA inserts: Father and son continually asked themselves whether it was possible to develop a connecting piece for two wooden elements that would allow a connection that could be detached over and over again. They set out to find an answer. A short time later H. H. Nicolaus Brügmann developed the first RAMPA insert. He named it the A-insert and applied for a patent in 1910. 🛋️ By the way: To this day, RAMPA type A inserts for use in furniture construction and other areas of wood construction are available to purchase from us. In addition to the possibility of detaching the connection, other advantages are also the high stability and the huge load-bearing capacity of the connection. There are good reasons why we set the standard for DIN 7965 with the A-insert. #RAMPA #TimberTrade #Carpentry #FamilyHistory #RAMPARoots #Innovations #WoodProcessing #A_insert #DIN7965 #WoodConnection #TraditionAndInnovation #WoodConstruction #FurnitureConstruction #RAMPAProducts #ExperienceHistory #WoodCraftsmanship #BioLink #SuccessStory #WoodInnovation #ExploreNow

The design of our LS/V line for woodworking has taken into account two main points: the working speed increase and the elimination of dead times. The high speed of the cycle does not allow frequent changes in the line setting, this is why this line is particularly suitable for a standarized production.
