TIMBER DOOR JAMB, LINTEL/HEADA door jamb (also sometimes doorjamb) is the vertical portion of the frame onto which adoor is secured.

Plywood is a manufactured wood panel made from thin sheets of wood veneer. It
is one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible, inexpensive,
workable, re-usable, and can usually be locally manufactured. Plywood is used
instead of plain wood because of its resistance to cracking, shrinkage, splitting,
and twisting/warping, and its general high degree of strength.
Plywood layers (called veneers) are glued together with adjacent plies having
their grain at right angles to each other. Cross-graining has several important
benefits: it reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the edges, it
reduces expansion and shrinkage equating to improved dimensional stability, and
it makes the strength of the panel consistent across both directions. There are
usually an odd number of plies so that the sheet is balanced—this reduces
warping. Because of the way plywood is bonded (with grains running against oneanother and with an odd number of composite parts) it is very hard to bend it
A beam is a horizontal or vertical structural element that is capable of
withstanding load primarily by resisting bending. The bending force induced intothe material of the beam as a result of the external loads, own weight,span and
external reactions to these loads is called a bending moment.
Beams are traditionally descriptions of building or civil engineering structural
elements, but smaller structures such as truck or automobile frames, machine
frames, and other mechanical or structural systems contain beam structures that
