Pants Boy Posted June 23, 2016 Share That's ex-vat, so 1 inch lumber is around R180K a cubic meter ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakAttak Posted June 23, 2016 Share very nice zak. I really want a nice work room one day I make use of my Makeshift Garage and the compact workshop of mine... But it works for me, I'm just glad I don't live in a complex with their restrictions... I can do as I please and my neighbours are quite cool and accomodating...

Capricorn Posted June 23, 2016 Share Around R2000 per sheet...what grade is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 23, 2016 Share That price is not so bad for 30mm thick quality ply. 30mm is quite a chunk. Will make for one serious tabletop or worktop. Work out how much this will cost you to laminate using hardwood strips, then it suddenly seems quite fair. AFAIK, the same quality ply in 19mm thick is about R1200 per sheet. Now compare this price to the price you pay for the usual chipboard crap, keeping longevity and workability in mind. MDF and chipboard is fine, as long as you keep water and moisture away. In the long run, this is not such an easy thing to do.Hmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted June 23, 2016 Share what grade is that?It's a BB grade, with a "wire cross" finish on the faces, which gives it an anti slip quality, our customer builds trailers for Coca Cola, they use the boards for the floors.

Stretched@Birth Posted June 23, 2016 Share Ah, so not that great.It's great for the application [emoji12], this specific board is hard, and the finish is chosen so the crates don't slide off the truck. Different boards for different applications. We sell a lot of ply, but very little for furniture grade application. If the customer requires a better quality than our standard, we buy it out. I have a bit in stock... Skylark, ZakAttak, Pants Boy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most ply grades were BB/BB and lower ircc. Capricorn and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
