5 ply Cross Laminated Timber Layup and Press
Awesome video! Thanks for giving us a peek behind the scenes 😄
Biden voter's.
What does this business trip have to do with voting? Not everything has to do with Politics, but I can assure you I’ve never voted for Biden. By the way, your use of the apostrophe isn’t correct.
Biochar is amazing! I hope we see more of this. (central WA member of WFFA)
May I ask what is the price of the finished 5 ply wood panel with that length for sale? in dollars?
We don’t typically quote a panel price like that because each project has unique attributes that impact the price. We don’t sell panels, we sell projects and the panels are a part of the project. Lumber price, quality, strength, and species also impact the price of the panels. To give you a rough price would be something like $32 USD per square foot. So a 40’ panel in 5 ply would be 160 sf, so the panel would price $5,120. That gives you a rough idea of pricing.
@@russvaagen3004 Thanks for your answer, it's really valuable to me. Wish you many good things.
@@russvaagen3004 Wow, that's a whole lot less than I would have guessed. I think that makes CLT cheaper than plywood by the board-foot.
@@NSResponder when you consider that you not only get structure, but you also get a premium exposed finish on your ceilings and feature walls, it’s a pretty incredible value.
What glue do you use?
The finger jointer uses a purebond adhesive from Henkel (Loc-tite brand). For the press we use a Hexion two part MF adhesive. The same that’s used in plywood and traditional glulam. The adhesives are clear or white(ish) in color and go through a high frequency press to achieve consistent bonding every time.
Hi, I have a question about the pressing process. Does it apply pressure laterally at the same time as pressing down to make all joints closing correctly?
Great stuff! What exactly are those HF radiowaves for?
They create heat and the heat activates the adhesive. It’s very efficient because the glue is conductive and attracts the HF waves, so the heat is concentrated where it’s most effective.

Very good presentation, Russ
Thanks Bill!
What species of wood are available from your facility? I have a specialty application in mind that I'd like to do with maple, oak or cherry.
We use softwoods, but we will be testing some hardwoods later this year.
@@russvaagen3004 So, how did your hardwood testing work out?
@@NSResponder it’s works well. We’re actually doing some further work with a partner from the east coast that will result in full certification of hardwoods. I would expect that to be completed sometime this fall. Initial testing when well. The most difficult part is having a lumber handling system on for dimensional softwood and thinner hardwood boards. Most systems don’t do it all. Our system is not ideally setup for 1” boards and thinner so we may have to make some adjustments.
Awsome!
Beautiful!

Im interested this bijnes from India please help me thankfully
👏🏻 So true! Collaboration is the key, awesome work.
Best Ted talk in history.
Thank you Merle! Quite a compliment.
Can one use this type of beam to replace a rotted girder in a moist crawlspace? Upper PA location, very cold winters and crawlspace is not a conditioned space. (except for dehumidifier)
I don’t see why not. We would need to look at the specifics of the project, but the glulam beams can be treated or sealed to last a long time even in challenging environments.
This is incredible. What does the moisture content of the wood need to be before using this method? I wonder if there’s a glue similar to this that would hold as well that a DIYer could try?
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful house!
Very informative 👍🏻
There is a CLT greenfield project being built in my neck of the woods - interesting to see how it's done and how I can pick out techniques used in this process that have been well proven in the manufacture of other engineered panel products.
Awesome process! Some of the best CLT manufacturing technologies/methodologies around yielding some of the cleanest, best looking, and highest performance panels on the market. Way to go Vaagen Timbers!
Thank you Kurt. Hope you’re well.
how are these buildings insulated?
Typically a panelized exterior insulation, then siding on the outside. Doing so correctly can achieve excellent energy efficiency performance.
how are they insulated?
They can be insulated in a number of ways. Usually with a panelized system on the exterior. The thermal mass of wood performs well in both maintaining temperature and air sealing when taped. Insulation made of wood fiber, rock wool, recycled newspapers/corrugated boxes, foam, or fiberglass.
I enjoyed the video I spent 22 years in sawmills WI, IFI, Stimson I always find myself watching videos like this thanks for sharing
Thank you for all your hard work on sustainability and protecting the forest! I wish you the best professionally and personally.
Looks amazing!
Best in the manifacturer. Great CLT and Gluelam products Vaagen !

Thanks Christopher Kelley!
This is really amazing guys. I hope we can work together.
Mr Vaagen: Extremely proud of what you and your company have accomplished. Gives me hope that our forests can be rescued and brought back to life. Admire the way you are able to work with the treehuggers, that have caused the problems we have. My roots are strong in the Colville area. Grandparents homesteaded there in the later 1800’s. Proud to see you put the area on the map. Would love to see your operation in person, if you allow that, the next trip to Stevens county. The best to you and your family.
Thanks Jack! Appreciate the kind words. We think this is a excellent opportunity to have a huge impact. Call us at 509.684.3678 and we can see about getting you in for a tour when you are in the area. Thanks again!
Mr. Vaagen I've been watching you for a couple years now and praying for you as well. I'm so encouraged to see you making a difference in your industry and succeeding in your endeavors. I hope that you are able to see your successes locally and globally. I feel that you are making a huge difference in both the timber and construction industry. I wish you the best professionally and personally. I'm coming out to ski at the end of the month. So excited to drive by your facility!!! Blessings-
Janet G Warner you should stop by and check it out. So grateful for your comments and prayers! Thank you.
@@russvaagen3004 that would be awesome. After watching your video from Italy I have been so highly impressed by the technology developed in your industry! I have a mild obsessive with Industrial equipment. Lol. Also. Great for you that it happens to be in a gorgeous part of the world. :)
@@russvaagen3004 Mr. Vaagen, I'm sorry time didn't permit visiting your new facility. But thank you for your kind invitation. Hopefully next trip we can check it out. Blessings on your day and continued success
A very nice video Russ. Glad to see the inside of your business and the whole process.
Mike Gates thanks for watching. Excited to make some client videos that we can share as well.
Nice beard Russ!
Pat, it lasted for a couple months. I usually grow a good one every winter. This set of snow storms has me thinking I may have shaved too early.
Is it hard to remove phone from the case? Since I Have another main case for daily usage
Kung Fu Panda it’s pretty tight, but I think you’ll want to either have the quad lock case for everyday or use your other case. The beauty of it is that it slides in and out of your pocket easy, yet snaps into place securely. Hope that helps.
Good job, Russ. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Chuck! Always good to hear from you.
Can you recommend some other content creators?
boardbysled there are so many great creators out there. I enjoy watching videos about cars, in that space my favorites are Doug Demuro, Vehicle Virgins, and Tavarish. Other amazing creators are Jon Olson, Casey Neistat, Warner Nickerson, Gary Vaynerchuck, and the guys from Video Influencers. There are many out there, but I’ve learned a great deal from those creators. There are some amazing women creating content out there as well. The best creators are consistently putting out video content. That seems to best build an audience.
@@russvaagen3004Thanks! Any good ones relating to forestry?
boardbysled there’s a guy that’s been reporting on the overgrown forests of California. His name one TH-cam is Blancolirio th-cam.com/users/blancolirio. The stuff that Phil Bradeen is putting out on Vaagen Bros Lumber’s channel is pretty great. There’s not a great deal here on TH-cam that I’ve found yet. Domtar has posted some videos that are pretty good. I’ll keep it in mind and share more as they come to mind.
*Pros: Liked the new iphone very much>>>**t.co/COBOKU8nDw** The look and feel is rich when compared to other iPhones. OS gestures are nice and cool. Cameras are superb. Cons: awesome unlocking system is not appropriate when too close and some angles. felt few gms heavy then my old iphone. Expensive*
We are learning so much about being sustainable in cities as we travel as well. Thank you for putting this together!
Thanks Candra!
Are you Norwegen because a Vaagen from North Dakota
WorldCurrency Collector yes, my family came from Norway (Bergen) and settled in North Dakota. My portion of the family moved to NE Washington sometime in the 1930’s or 40’s.
Russ Vaagen that’s very cool I bet we’re very far cousins maybe
I think my great grandfather was Samuel and his dad was Ole. They settled in Carpio I believe.
Russ Vaagen were is Carpio at?
Do you use a screen protector? I'm always afraid that while riding I'll have an accident and away goes my phone into the gravel.
Zac, I’ve used a screen protector on most of my phones. The glass stick-on types. Fortunately, I’ve never had a situation where my phone has come off while riding. Much of the time while I’m riding for triathlon training I’ll just leave it on my arm for a faster transition. The bike quad lock has a press release on the back for extra stable hold.
Hey, Russ! Excelent video! Why don´t you post a "n" months Review for Quad Lock Run Kit? Or maybe, please, comment here about its durability! Thanks, buddie!
Jackson Cunha, thanks for watching and your suggestion. The run kit works great. I have one at my home and I keep one in my bag. They are very durable and work well. The only issues I’ve had is on a previous case, the locking part started to crack and break. I contacted Quad Lock with some images and they sent me a brand new case. The arm band had a blue release button, but the windshield/windscreen mount doesn’t. When the case wears the mount can get loose and struggles to stay in place. I’d suggest that they add the release to that mount as well. I use it daily and wouldn’t change it.
