kaoule: Subframe is not compulsory. I did not use it. Apart from the extra cost, if your workers are smart, they can install your windows without subframes and still achieve a perfect square/shape and without water gaps. |

THE PROBLEM OF PERFECTLY CUT AND STRAIGHT WOOD IN NIGERIA. I lifted the first attached photo from Spyder's Remodeling Hall Project: https://www.nairaland.com/5921575/remodelling-reconstruction-town-hall-pictures/3 Looking at the wood network and the snake like nature of most of the woods, I just ask myself and you all here that supply wood, why is it near impossible to get perfectly cut to size and straight wood in Nigeria? What is the issue? Is it lack of investment, lack of skilled woodworkers, the Nigerian factor of any way na way or we are just blind as a country to perfection and detail. Why can't the Association of Nigeria Sawmillers up and down the country self regulation as done in the western world to proscribe industrial standard of wood cutting and sawmilling? I don't want to mention the government. This is a case of self regulation by the Sawmillers Association. I have had a look online at the investment profile for a sawmill. As from 5 million Naira, one can set up a modern sawmill that can cut perfect wood. I think the Sawmillers Association can do better. It is not impossible to produce perfectly cut straight woods. I think it's the Nigerian factor. Any how, any how. All go na go. 2 Likes

diordaves: People don't take pride in their work anymore. Most businesses/artisans don't invest in themselves. The kind of jagajaga work people do these days will make someone shed tears.. My family sent me a picture recently and I was looking at one of the kitchen stools my grand mother used in the 70s. Built with care, all lines perfect. The chair was built by a village carpenter (not a premium service). But compared to what my sister just built for her kitchen recently, jagajaga, wood not straight, not properly aligned.. it looks very embarrassing. It is a sad thing, everyone will blame blame the government for this and that but I ask them, do you remit your business profit to the government as well? I don't think there's any association in Nigeria that enforces standard not even the Nigerian medical association or Nigeria bar association.. frankly, I don't even know they had sawmillers association. Most of this bodies just collect collect dues that's all. No pride in their trade.. very shameful indeed! 4 Likes |

diordaves: You're even looking too far. Woodmizer line of sawmill is available in Nigeria at https://www.gz-supplies.com/wood-sawmill-machine-wood-mizer-lt20b-series/ Operating a sawmill is one o the things that I'm interested in but will need investors for that since it's more than a one man show. It's also outside of my core competency of Automobile, Real Estate and Renewable Energy. I have the land for it and even have cut trees being aged on one of my plots. Oya N3xt, maybe you and that your rich blow hard Uncle can set up one or na only junkyard or is it auction yard motorcycles una dey do? PS: Where can I take the thread this week? 4 Likes |

diordaves: Thank you for pointing the lapses in wood quality as it affects the total quality of work done, but I think you are using the wrong picture to illustrate this. Those wood there were placed by my carpenters in a random way because they are not needed for a straight flat ceiling work. They did this with my approval, that's what the particular job needed. We were planning for a POP ceiling and in that type of work, the priority is on wood strength, ability to carry the weight of the ceiling, not wood alignment. Ceiling workers only need somewhere to hook their ceiling carriers, it mustn't necessarily be straight in this instance. But I must agree that the quality of wood in our markets are shambolic to say the least, I have had cause to reject some wood, refuse to start a work or even reject a work offer just because of the wood quality. In the markets, if you hear 2x4x16 wood, expect to see 1 1/2 x 3 x 13 wood. There is zero checks by any government body, saw mills are just pushing out any quality of wood according to their mood swings, some even deliberately reduce the sizes to make more profits. Big saw mills factor in the complete wood, and then raise their prices accordingly. So it's not a lack of knowledge on their part, it's a desire to beat the system and walk away with as much profit as possible. 3 Likes

Let's use these images as a better illustration, I had to walk round the whole market before I selected these wood from a dealer and it was a long story. The quality of wood in our markets are depreciating daily. I came to this market and found out that there were no 'complete' woods of 2x4x16 of good quality, I was looking out for hardwood that is very reliable. There was simply none on the stalls, so I went and waited on one man I knew that always brings in new stock on Mondays. I arrived the market early on Monday morning to see his boys offloading wood. They wanted to load my truck and they started selecting good wood and removing them, I am very familiar with this sorting trick and I raised an objection to that. I stopped the loading more than once, when the owner came, he tried to persuade me that this is how the whole wood came in from Benue state, I knew, but why would he sell to me the wood they sorted, why not just offload everything since I was buying up to 700 lengths? The owner later helped to speak to them, and they gave me something considerably better than what is obtainable elsewhere. I also paid more for the supply. The trick is that wood gets sorted as they offload, good ones are placed one side while fair ones are placed on another side, then expert loaders will arrange the fair ones to look neat and straight, to confuse those who are not conversant with their tricks. The good ones sorted differently are sold at a higher cost to those who appreciate quality. 4 Likes

EgunMogaji2:there's something I learnt yesterday, create known boundaries between yourself and your workers. Cause if you don't, they will abuse that privilege and take advantage of you. And trust me if the tables were turned, they won't give you same treatment. Once again, create stern boundaries between and your workers cause it's only then they will respect you and stay in shape 1 Like |

spyder880: Very well said. My take is not on the KNOWLEDGE on that job which is not in short supply. So even if the woods are for ceiling as you rightly highlighted, such wonky wood should not leave a sawmill as commercial sale. A well cut right size wood for ceiling work should be readily available in Nigeria without the shenanigans. This is take. This is what I can't understand. If you have the right machine and the right production process, you won't deliberately cut wonky woods. Think about the cement industry consistently ONLY producing wonky cements with no alternative or the electrical cable industry or the steel industry. Lives will be lost. I think the sawmill industry needs looking into by the regulatory bodies with a view to having (for example) a NAFDAC number or NIS (number) codification as done to other manufacturers in the country. 2 Likes |
