Log and Timber Structures - We've Got Your Connection

Typically when log home/timber frame homes and structures are discussed most people automatically envision a woodsy setting featuring a lovely, rustic chinked log cabin, right? While we love these warm, traditional, country structures, we also thoroughly enjoy seeing timber used in contemporary architectural construction too.

Designing Your Space With SPAX®

Are you new to SPAX® fasteners? Wondering what all the fuss is about? 

Well the next best thing to taking a test drive of your own is to see SPAX® in action with our very own #1 specialist, Phill Moore.

Multiple Applications Means One Multi-Material Screw.

What? You haven't tried the SPAX® Multi-Material screws yet? Well we weren't kidding when we named them - these bad boys work like butter on wood, dry wall, masonry, sheet metal, and plastic my friend. And talk about a time and money saver - one screw, one drive style, no pre-drilling* and you're set to fire up that driver and get after it!

Long Haul Cabinet Install

We think we have a pretty darn good line of fastener products and one that has been getting a lot of traction lately with contractors and DIY'ers alike are our Cabinet Screws.

The large, low-profile head provides increased load bearing area, while the patented 4CUT™ Point prevents splitting without pre-drilling. The T-STAR Plus drive promotes superior bit engagement, especially for overhead work and the patented thread serrations minimize driving torque to prolong your power tool battery life. This complete superior package provides you with a screw you can depend on for your cabinet installation. (And it's great looking to boot!)

Need more proof? Check out Contractor Mark Clement from MyFixitupLife  as he walks you through his solid cabinet install and you'll see why SPAX is always by his side on his job sites.

Saving Time and Organizing Your World

Who doesn't want more organization in their life? Who doesn't wish they had more time?  Sounds like a dream, eh?  Well SPAX® can help...really!

One of the things we like to do for fall/winter readiness is organize or reorganize our garage. All the crap, uh I mean valuable stuff, we've accumulated over the spring and summer has taken over our precious space that previously had been designated for vehicles and our tools (if you're not lucky enough to have a shop).

No Tabling this Subject: Torsion Box Assembly Table

As all woodworkers and builders know, having a completely flat work surface is critical in any shop. We were certainly impressed when Mirza Woodworks in Wildwood, MO shared this recent project.

New torsion table project, ready for use!

Garage Clutter Decluttered

Ever feel like your beloved garage has become the local Toys R Us warehouse? Yep, the struggle is real and fortunately so is the solution!

Bikes on the floor and toys scattered on your workbench is a thing of the past with this fun storage bench solution by Mr. Buildit.

Hang Time - Screwing Around With Drywall

A question we get asked A LOT is "Can I use SPAX® to hang drywall?".  That's a great question and we love that so many loyal SPAX® users want to use our products for everything under the sun!

While SPAX® fasteners are not designed for this specific use we do hear back from users (professional and DIY'ers alike) that they do use them for this applications and others not typically promoted by SPAX®.

What Floats Your Boat?

When we think of summer we think of relaxing, sunny days spent by the water. Whether you're lounging by the pool, taking a stroll along the boardwalk at the coast or strapping on those ski's at the lake we can bet you'll eye some pretty cool outdoor wooden structures to add to your enjoyment.

And if you're looking to tackle an outside project this season, our new HCR-X coated fasteners will protect your creations, even in coastal environments.

You're Never Too Young (or Old) to SPAX®

Meet Graham, he's the newest (and one of the youngest) of our SPAX® fans.  At 11 years old we love that his dad is passing down his passion for woodworking...and it looks like the talent runs in the family!

Stopping The Madness: Step Away From The Drywall Screws

It's still an everyday occurrence.  We hear of drywall screw use for multiple applications and people wondering why they are snapping, stripping and projects are failing. (They are called drywall screws for a reason.) OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Recently we were told about a major kitchen cabinet fail where drywall screws were used to hang cabinets. Ok people, listen up - SPAX^® happens to make a variety of screws for a variety of applications...including an amazing Cabinet Screw!
