I want to make up a bench for the front porch and if I sacrifice most of the "fineness" of the woodworking I might actually get it done this summer.
The original plan was wainscot in a morticed and tennoned frame. Now I'm wondering if I can glue something like this "Ply Bead" http://www.gp.com/panels/plybdpanels.html to some half inch marine plywood and use that as a structural part of the bench.
I figure on
1) cutting the panels to size, (largest 25" x 46)
2) using the water resistant Titebond,
3) placing them on a flat cement floor,
4) sink a couple of brads in the corners to keep things from sliding and
5) piling sandbags on top
The bench will be painted and is designed to maximize ventilation and minimize any standing water on the plywood.
Will this work? Please educate a supplicant who would like to do fine woodworking, but is willing to settle for what he can do between diaper changes.:confused:
