Re: Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

We used layered plywood to make prototypes, such as our shooter this year.
Other than that, we dont really use much plywood.

A bandsaw is great for making curved cuts when you don't have a laser. smaller cuts may require thinner, wood specific blades, but other than that, bandsaw, table saw, and jigsaw are all the tools you need to make just about anything out of plywood.

My favorite for assembled/disassembled are dowels and screws. I made a locker organizer that was assembled in situ, and disassembled when you had to swap lockers. Just used dowels with some #8 screws to hold it all together. I could easily stand on the shelves in place (3/4 marine ply ftw) and it all came apart in about 5 minutes.

Re: Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

We've never used much plywood, In the past we used 1/4" to fasten and support the electronic components since it made it easy to mount them but now we have been using a lighter corrugated plastic the past few years.
