We chose 26" x 36" x 5.5" overall size, and 2.25" side offset. You can do whatever you want!



Yes, we used Titebond premium wood glue, because there were three bottle of it in the fab shop, and we used 1/4" crown x 7/8" staples because they were in the pneumatic staple gun, and it seemed like they'd work. You could use nails, brads, small wood screws, other sizes of staples, etc. Just beware that using a fastener into the edge of plywood is not very strong, so getting a good glue joint is kind of important.

And thanks for all the great info Rick!

ever thought about taking a piece of aluminium angle for each corner and bolting the wood to it, as well as gluing the corners
