BUILDING OF CONCRETE FORMS

There are many strategies, and techniques when Building Concrete Forms in carpentry. Concrete forms are built to hold wet concrete. Once the form is built the wet concrete gets poured in the form, this is usually done by a truck, wheel borrow, or shovel. When the concrete dries the form is then stripped. After the form is stripped you will have your finish product. This method is used commonly when building bridges, curves, and foundation of buildings, pillar, steps, and walls.

HOW DIFFICULT IS THE WORK OF CARPENTERS?

Sometimes carpenters are working in the middle of highways as cars are passing by at high speeds. Or they may be required to walk across a plank carrying a sheet of plywood on a windy day and one wrong move and they fall into a lake. Now that's exciting. Carpenters get dirty as well, having to work in the mud and rain swinging a hammer trying to put nails in wood or using a sledge hammer trying to sink a four foot steak in muddy ground. This is the hardcore part of carpentry Building Concrete Forms.

NEEDED RECHECKING OF PLYWOOD

Before building the concrete form the material such as plywood and two by fours should be inspected for cracks and serious flaws in that. Using messed up material will give you weak parts in your form and result to a blowout meaning wet concrete pours or blows out the form which means you failed to do the job right. A carpenter's main objective is to not have blowouts plain and simple. The forms can be characterized into three main categories: Block, Shuttering Panel and Plank, each having their own advantages.

BUILDING ACCORDING TO CUSTOMERS

1. While building remember to build accordingly to what your customer wants.

2. Always brace and support your forms correctly. There are no short cuts.

3. It’s better to overbuild than it is to under build. Overbuilding assures you that there will not be any blow out.

4. Using the right nails for the job is very important. Using the wrong size nails can result to a blowout.

5. All steaks metal or wood should be nailed in the ground until they are at least 3 feet in.

6. When swinging your hammer remember it's all in the wrist let your wrist do the swinging.

7. After you are done building the form look over your work make sure you did not forget anything.
