You might be wondering why you would want to make your own plywood when there is some that is available at the store. The reason you would is because you can customize the size and shape a lot better with home made plywood. wood workers often wonder if there is anymore they can possibly learn about and the answer is yes. You will want to start with a piece of plywood, larger than you actually need before getting started.
Key Takeaways:
- Plywood made at the store, just can’t get into the shapes that we want it to, so we should make it.
- Don’t worry about having a uniform size of plywood, we aren’t mass producing these, you just need the size that you need.
- Make sure when you are putting together your lumber, that you are making it bigger than you need it to be.
