Collapsible Dresser

New, Revolutionary Furniture Built to Last Forever: Sing furniture is the new method to build high quality furniture that can be easily knocked-down and flat-packed for easy storage, transport and/or moving. The best apartments and condos provide modular Sing Furniture for pre-furnished units for rent and/or lease. While other flat-pack furniture is available it quickly deteriorates with use and needs to be replace, while Sing furniture is built to last forever, and easily broken down and flat packed for easy storage and/or transport in between uses.

With Sing Furniture, you can go from this

 

 

to this

 

 

in 5 minutes

We put Sing panels to the test of building furniture. We found this to be the easiest way to make a collapsible dresser drawer that can be assembled and reassembled in minutes and will last forever.

Things You’ll Need:

  • Sing honeycomb panels
  • Screws
  • hand drill

Assembling the dresser drawers is easy.

Lay panels for your collapsible drawers out flat so you have the right & left sides matching. Slide the front and back of the drawer into pre-cut slot. Add screw to each corner of drawer. No need to add glue. After sides are built screw on the bottom and your flat pack drawer is ready to be installed in dresser box.

Why and How to Use Sing Sandwich Core

Sing Sandwich Core (lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel)

1. What is Sing Sandwich Core?

The revolution or evolution of wood working, metal fabrication, plastic and cement meets the invention of patented Sing Sandwich Core (see the many uses of Sing Core). Sing Sandwich Panel provides the wood worker with pre-built torsion box at an affordable price.

Traditional-Torsion-Box-Diagram

Traditional torsion box (above) which could take all day to build

or insulated pre-built Sing Sandwich (reinforced torsion box see below)

2. Why Torsion Box?

Because other methods of building a table top are basically inefficient. For instance, a table top built of a solid material will shift and move over time compromising its degree of flatness. Also solid materials that are less likely to move are extremely expensive, heavy and would only be considered for a permanent fixture.

The torsion box table top design gives as flat a surface area as possible while reducing the weight of the table top due to the hollow areas in the center of the boxes. Using a torsion box design, a craftsman can build the most flat surface using 1/10th the solid material.

3. How does Sing Sandwich Core work?

aka: lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel

Examine the theory behind the torsion box/sandwich panel/lightweight panel/honeycomb panel

please click link below:

Sandwich Panel Core

Use Sing Sandwich Core’s torsion box to replace conventional wood core, particle board core for the true flat, light weight and high strength characteristics.

There are several core materials also widely used to function as torsion box such as:

* Wood core
* Furniture wood core
* Table wood core
* Solid wood core
* Wood core table
* Wood core furniture
* Wood door core

Google Search: wood core

Why do craftsmen use wood core? Because it reduces the cost of exotic woods and by alternating grain orientation – like plywood – it can help to minimize warping; but even plywood warps and is very heavy. Using lightweight Sing Sandwich Core may eliminate warping altogether.

* Sing Sandwich Core is 10% of the weight of solid wood based core.
* Sing Sandwich Core is stronger than steel lbs for lbs.
* Sing Sandwich Core is safe to work with
fewer injuries if the object is a large door
table or large piece of furniture.

Get your torsion box pre-built for you in 2 ft. x 4 ft. Sing Sandwich Core sections.

Imagine being able to build a torsion box work table and hundreds of lightweight, high-strength true flat, non-warping panels – endless applications – without the time, energy and cost of building the torsion box yourself?

Solid wood and metal will move and adapt to temperature compromising the functionality and seal of the most elegant hand-crafted wood door. Diligent woodworkers have sought out Sing’s solution to the oversized wood door.

The same scientific solution of reinforced torsion box applies to tables and other structures that can be built without traditional wood framing for furniture or stick-built homes.

5. How to build with Sing Sandwich Core

Make-your-own-Sing-Panel-Cold-press-methodIt’s easy to build your own products on demand, as you need it in any size you want.

This is the most popular in-house Sing technology used by craftsmen and millworks.

You might have never known how easy it is to build using this cold-press drop-in method.

How Easy Is It?

This is how simple it is to for you to use our Sing Sandwich Core (pre-built insulated and reinforced torsion box).

1-Apply-regular-carpenter-glue-to-bottom-skin

All you have to do is to coat the underside of your bottom skin with regular carpenter glue…

2-Assemble-wood-edges-on-top-of-glued-skin

Place your wood edges atop the glued-side of the skin…

3-A-Insert-Sing-Sandwich-Substrate-material3-B-Insert-Sing-Sandwich-Substrate-material

 

 

 

 

 

Then fill the void with pre-built torsion box pieces until full.

4-Place-glued-top-skin-in-place

Place glued top skin onto your completed work…

Cold-press-until-dry

Finally cold-press until dry (those two pc of panels to hold the gluing object are made of Sing panels).

This simple cold press (above) is made of two pieces of Sing Panel (one on the top and one on the bottom) and clamped together with pipe clamps.

It’s that easy: Congratulations; you just made your own insulated reinforced torsion box panel!

Truss Trade Show Booth Alternative

Use t slot embedded in t slot panels for trade show boothsOne of the most popular solutions for building a flexible trade show system has been the trade show truss displays. This has offered a degree or flexibility in altering the layout and design of a trade show booth that was unavailable in previous traditional trade show booth systems.

The popular conundrum in trade show design and management is that of lightweight and high strength. In most cases, the engineering and design staff will have to sacrifice either weight or strength having to choose one over the other depending on the expectations of the exhibitor.

This led to success of trade show truss systems that weigh less than a stick-based carpenter-built trade show display that would be disposed of following the trade show because it weighed less and could be knocked down and re-assembled for use in the next trade show event.

For many years the trade show truss system has set the standard for portable trade show displays; that is until Sing Core introduced the best trade show booths imbuing trade show engineers and designers with a whole new level of prolific design options without sacrificing due to the limitations of materials lacking in either lightweight or high strength.

one man easily assembles 70 ft x 10 ft trade show display booth lightweight high strengthThe Best Trade Show Booths

This new generation of trade show displays has made a decisive impact on trade shows and the trade show designers who are always on the lookout for leading edge trade show booth ideas. Imagine a modular building material that is lightweight yet stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound for pound, taking trade show design to a whole new level.

These exciting new components for portable trade show displays consisted of the most advanced high precision display panels that are also the key component used in making the best trade show tables, trade show flooring as well as trade show walls.

These new trade show booths were completely modular, could quickly and easily assembled, disassembled flat-packed, transported and stored ready for the next trade show. See a 70 ft. trade show display including two offices, assembled by one man in less than an hour. See the video.

But the technology did not stop there. The unbridled savvy trade show engineers and designers pressed Sing Core through to an even greater level of high precision composite technology…

t slot wall panels and t slot sliding door as t slot componentsT Slot Trade Show Booths

A staple in high-end industrial applications is the t slotted aluminum extrusion when enabled engineers and designers to create high precision projects. Still, with all the benefits of the aluminum t slot stiles and rails, the project could (and probably would) fail due to the instability of the other structure material that was weak or had the potential to warp, bend, twist, rot or otherwise fail over the lifespan of the project.

Sing Core is the secret ingredient in the most high performance t slot projects industry-wide. The lightweight high strength attributes in tandem with t slot empowered the most advanced architects specify the most complex components that would not have been able to meet the most stringent performance specifications.

It was no surprise to see this new technology spill over into trade show booth design, which faced the same design limitations of trade show truss displays.

Now, trade show designers are able to use the most sophisticated modular trade show structure system to build the ultimate trade show booths, including multiple stories and mezzanines that are lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years!

Helping the Homeless

Inventor Peter Sing has always had compassion for the homeless and using his patented Sing Core to help make the world a better place.

When he sees people suffering, he envisions Sing Core as the best solution for creating harmony amongst all peoples.

While his products are used regularly by America’s elite (see recent Guggenheim installation) he believes it to be the simplest and most effective solution for homelessness.

Guggenheim Gallery Brookly New York Sing Museum Panels Before After

The very same technology used to create instantly reconfigurable space in the Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn, New York could be used to add privacy, safety, security and reduce heating and cooling costs for the homeless.

Sing’s patented Eco-friendly panels are insulated (with sound dampening characteristics) lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

smallest-house-in-the-world-no-more-tentsTwo years ago, Mr. Sing launched a campaign to offer his Smallest House in the World to address the homeless in search of an insulated liveable instant structure that could be heated with the heat generated by candlelight at a discount price.

This year, the inventor of Sing Core is already being moved to a compassionate expedition to further help the homeless. These photos include temporary housing facilities that attempt to accommodate large numbers of people in large empty spaces.

These spaces are not dissimilar to the wide open empty space of the Guggenheim Gallery. Just as effective as transforming the space into a beautiful gallery, Sing’s insulated Sandwich Panels (available via Lowe’s Pro Desk) could be used to offer homeless individuals and families reconfigurable private quarters being housed in large spaces.

It is bad enough not to be able to sleep in your own home, but to have to have to live without any privacy in a large group environment adds insult to injury; and could be considered borderline inhumane.

Sing believes that his insulated panels are the answer. This year he is moved to help by offering special discounts to homeless shelters and has even launched a Go Fund Me campaign to offer tiny house kits for donation in an effort to help with the homeless situation in the USA.

Millworks

Looking for a millwork to finish your SingCore project?

patented Sing sliding non warp large doorOur primary affiliation is with the millworks that are highly skilled and qualified to deliver an end product which exemplifies the highest and best use of our patented SingCore building materials. In fact, when we receive inquiries about our products, our first question is, “Who is your millwork company?” If they do not have one they are working with, we suggest they get one and have them contact us directly.

SingCore is an extraordinary building material that left to itself is not much more glamorous than any other engineered plywood, even though nothing can compare to SingCore’s unparalleled light weight and strength. Yet, in the hands of a skilled millwork, their specialized craftsmanship is what makes Eco-friendly SingCore shine with the beauty and elegance SingCore products are known for.

Millworks face many challenges when bringing the architect’s vision to life. In some cases, the limitation of available building material can render a potential job impractical or even impossible.

Problem

Large non warp exterior sliding doors guaranteed for 50 years lightweight high strengthFor instance, a particular project might include a large wooden door. If the large wood door is an exterior door over seven feet tall or over four feet wide (as is the case for most modern pivot entry doors) millworks and custom door manufacturers will simply pass on the large door portion of the job, forfeit the entire job altogether based on the oversized exterior door, or if they do take the job may agree to build the large door according to the architectural specifications but will not offer a warranty on the performance of the big door.

Large exterior doors, especially large wood doors, are a problem because millworks and door manufacturers know the doors will fail due to warping. It’s nothing personal; it’s just the nature of the beast being the wood grain itself which tends to move according to changes in temperature, moisture or other environmental conditions.

Solution

Building warp-free wood doors of any size with SingCorePatented SingCore when engineered by the warp-free team can prevent any large door from failing over time. Millworks are confident they can provide a solution for any project including large doors of any size if they have SingCore inside, guaranteed.

Clients may ask for a warranty on the large doors (that without SingCore inside could not be warranted) and the millwork can now offer the professional SingCore guarantee – in writing – that the doors with professional SingCore inside are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Working with SingCore

millwork-cnc-router-sing-panel-sing-core-lightweight-high-strength-50-year-warp-free-guarantee

Easy to CNC router

Millworks use either open edge or closed edge Sing Panel, whichever works best for the project at hand, as well as many options for skin types, solid blocking, custom lite cut outs, solid and exterior edging options.

SingCore is easy to machine and work with using traditional woodworking tools, CNC and edge –banding machinery and equipment.

Used as substrate material, SingCore can be delivered to the millwork ready for cold press or hot press lamination. Alternatively, millworks may desire exterior surfaces to be applied in our factory, which makes their job easier.

Sandwich Panel Box will not Rot

This Sing honeycomb plywood garbage bin will not warp, bend, twist or rot!

Sing core plywood panels will not warp, bend, twist or rot.  They stay true flat, even when exposed to the elements.  The revolutionary patented Sing core technology has solved the warping nightmare.  Thus, plywood boxes made with Sing plywood sandwich panels are true flat (non-warping), will stay true flat and can be guaranteed true flat for 50 years.  It is like Sing panels have true-flat memory!

Our patented Sing panel core is a honeycomb/torsion box foam grid wherein the wood grain is perpendicular to the skin and held together with our patented formaldehyde-free glue.  Our patented Sing cores are 90 percent air, which does not move, and are supported by the strongest structure possible.  Because there is no movement in the core, the surface material (“skin”) will not delaminate and leak.  Therefore, plywood structures made with Sing plywood panels make the best outside structures.

To order Sing plywood panels, please see our pricing page.
