How It's Made: Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)

[@WoodSolutionsAustralia]

Thanks for watching our video! Did you get something out of it? Is there another topic about wood, wood products, or designing and building with wood that you would like us to explore? Let us know in the comments and we'll see what we can do.

[@majermike]

thanks for the info, but please show the hot pressing, cutting, finishing, and wrapping process

[@thomasjameson5761]

How about pressure treated lvl for outdoor use (decks etc)

[@royazoya5164]

Very professionally done and comprehendible for non trade audience also.

Nice to see how this is made, Thank you

[@wlms04]

LVLs are a great product! They allow us to do things that would’ve been impossible before.

Esp. garage door openings!

Hi there. Do you perhaps know the best way to go about bending my lvl's? I have some and I am wanting to build a spiral staircase of sorts.

[@osufwiffo]

​@@nonyabusiness9747would be totally dependent upon the type of glue that is used and the manufacturer.

[@68bwild]

How much would a plant that size cost to get up and running? Because we need a few more LVL manufacturers in Australia to keep up with demand!!

[@rayanator105]

You would be looking at millions of dollars by the time you buy the land in the appropriate land,get resource/building consent,get quotes from construction companies for labour and materials,equipment and machinery and employees.

I believe my AK-47 stock and handgaurds have something similar. Thin sheets of wood laminated together and, when shaped to its final form, leave beautiful different colored wood layers and is super strong and durable for battlefield wear and tear resistance.

Question could you make LVL beams out of hard wood like oak or Hickory??

[@petereedy6092]

Great video, thanks!

[@VP411Designs]

I noticed these lvl's have a yellow tint type color on the finished product. Is this painted or some kind of stain for water protection? How is this done? Just curious

[@massmanute]

Very interesting. Just out of curiosity, what is the length of an individual veneer in the same direction as the wood grain. I realize that the length of a billet is not limited by the length of individual veneers because of how they overlap during manufacture, but I am interested in know the answer to this question nevertheless. Thanks.

Is is some sort of sick joke that everyone who wants to become a voice over or narrator actor must have a very noticeable lisp?

[@EricB90]

The narrator really messed this one up.

[@pauleohl]

The narrator reads the script. His specialty is speaking clearly and with an air of authority.

[@EricB90]

Well he's clearly gay

[@travisosborne1367]

I can't take an adult with a lisp seriously. Exactly how hard is it to put your teeth together and exhale air?

@@travisosborne1367 you are uneducated my friend.
