cheaper than a shoe string budget

Look for local builders... carpenters and General contractors (maybe roofers, too) as they can be sources of large sheets of plywood- although not full-size. volunteer to remove any over 3 square feet... there may be plenty, especially in new home construction. <br /> <br />Cabinetry and kitchen remodellers may offer scrap millwork... 1x2, 1x3, 1x4 sizes. <br /> <br />be sure to cull out the knots and rough surface plywood... not worth the work to clean up or re-surface. <br /> <br />(I got a similar source for about half the lumber on my 5x15 foot layout - and about 1/3 was rejected - but still had plenty to keep busy until the budget improved.) <br /> <br />
