Understanding the Basics of Steel Framing
Steel framing is a popular choice in modern construction due to its durability, strength, and resistance to environmental factors like termites and rot. Unlike traditional wood framing, steel framing uses a network of steel components to create the structure of a building.
Understanding the basics of steel framing involves knowing the different types of steel members, such as studs, tracks, and joists, as well as the methods for joining them together. This knowledge is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of your project.

Wooden nails have a rich history dating back to ancient times. They were first used as a primitive innovation by early humans to join pieces of wood together. These early nails were simply sharpened sticks or wooden pegs that were hammered into place. The simplicity and effectiveness of wooden nails made them a popular choice for construction and woodworking projects.
Throughout history, wooden nails have been used in various cultures and civilizations. They were a common feature in ancient Egyptian and Roman construction, as well as in traditional Japanese carpentry. The use of wooden nails continued well into the Middle Ages, where they were widely employed in the construction of timber-framed buildings. This early form of joinery laid the foundation for the development of modern woodworking techniques and fastening options such as BECK’s LIGNOLOC® wooden nails.

Joinery is an important skill to master when working with reclaimed wood. Since reclaimed wood often has unique shapes and sizes, it's important to know how to properly join pieces together to create a strong and stable structure. Common joinery techniques include mortise and tenon joints, dovetail joints, and tongue and groove joints. By mastering these techniques, you can ensure that your projects are not only visually appealing but also durable and long-lasting. Consider using LignoLoc® Wooden Nails for joining your wood materials – the lignin welding of the two materials creates an impenetrable bond and it’s as easy as shooting in a nail!
