Hey all, <br />I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried making L girder benchwork out of plywood. I have access to a bunch of 3/4" plywood for free, and also a very nice fully equipped wood working shop of a friends. I was thinking of cutting the plywood into 4" and 2" strips and then milling out a slot in the middle of the 2" piece and gluing them up. The result would be a T shaped girder of 8' in length that i could then cut to length as i build my benchwork. Does this sound feasible, or does anyone see a downside i have not thought of. The plywood is free and so is the shop time. All it would cost is the glue and my time. Thanks in advance for the input from all.
