Re: Wood vs Aluminum
Which is better? What I think you should be asking is "what am I building"
There are plenty of good uses for wood, and if used correctly it can offer comparable strength and durability to aluminum. Our team needs to make a fairly large 5/8" thick plate this year for our tube grabber. After extensive discussion we determined that Baltic birch plywood (a marine grade plywood) would be perfect for this application. The wooden plate would be lighter then the aluminum and would offer reasonable strength and rigidity. |
