Mike Sloggatt is a Wizard at math and angles. I wish he'd been my math teacher in high school!
- Gary Katz
|

After four years of success at developing educational events for builders at local lumberyards, The Katz Roadshow has expanded. We're scheduling Finish Carpentry and Rough Carpentry Roadshows for 2007 with the goal of providing quality programs at leading progressive lumberyards. See for shows scheduled near your area.
Today, math is a must for builders and carpenters. But carpenters learn with their hands,on jobsites, not with books or chalkboards ()
|
| |
 |
| |
| Mike Sloggatt brings the jobsite to his presentations. He teaches real-world techniques so that carpenters and builders can master every angle. |
| |
 |
| |
| Mike's presentations demonstrate how to apply those lessons in the field, from radius porticos to elliptical ceilings and trim. But that's just the icing . . . |
|
| A typical Rough Carpentry clinic schedule includes the following topics: |

Rough Carpentry
Roadshow Schedule
9:00-10:00 -- Waterproof Windows & Doors |
| |
 |
| Housewrap doesn't have
to leak!
Face-To-Face Instruction
that will boost your bottom line. |
 |
|
 |
| Mike Sloggatt is known for using the latest
tools, techniques, and materials--
for staying ahead of the curve. |
|
Join Mike as he
demonstrates correct installation
procedures for Waterproof Windows and Doors, from
the bottom of the sill... |
|
| |
 |
| To the top of the frame. For attractive and
long lasting window and door openings and exterior trim, don't rely on a Barrier System.
Use a Drainage System on every opening. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Learn how to use a brake and bend the flashing you need to protect windows, doors, &
exterior trim |
|
|
| Discover the advantages
of PVC for high-risk homes and see how to bend PVC trim--
no special ordering necessary |
| |
10:30-11:30 -- Working
with Engineered Lumber |
| |
 |
| Engineered joists and beams, along
with production techniques for framing head-scratching
gable-end walls and elaborate dormers are also Mike's
specialties.
|
  |
| |
| Mike blends production techniques
with custom quality: From using a Bigfoot saw
for cutting multiple studs, joists,
or rafters, to the latest fastening systems; from
framing nailers... |
|
| |
|
| To positive placement guns for
joist hangers and hardware. This is an opportunity
for attendees to improve their framing systems
and put their hands on the latest tools. |
|
|
| |
12:30-1:30 -- Building Better Decks |
| |
| For pure profit-building enjoyment, and ways to
protect that profit from call backs and re-work, don't
miss Mike's decking presentations. Decks are fast becoming
one of the problem areas for contractors, from drainage
to durability. New building material products require
special installation techniques. This information-heavy
clinic is designed to cover the hot spots. |
|
Key words:
Deflection, Drainage & Diffusion
To prolong product longevity and prevent premature paint
failure, engineered wood trim requires
careful and professional installation. |
 |
The days of old
growth joists and decking are over.
Qualtiy composite decking, installed on treated
joists, demands special attention and the best
fastening system. |
|
| |
 |
| |
2:00 - 3:00 -- Radius Exterior Trim |
| |
|
 |
Don't miss the
last math lesson of the day--it's full of sawdust.
Starting with strings and moving to a router template,
Mike rounds out the day cutting a perfect ellipse. |
