Examine Glue Lam Beam Construction

What happens here

In contrast to LVL, the glue lam beam presented in the video is shown to be essentially a stack of dimensional lumber pieces. These individual pieces are glued together and compressed, forming a single, large, and strong structural member. The visible end grain and distinct lines on the beam clearly show the multiple layers of wood used in its construction.

Goal: The presenter provides a detailed look at the composition of the glue lam beam, showing how it is built from dimensional lumber.
