Hello:
I want to make two long workbenches to sit on either side of my radial arn saw to serve both as worktop surfaces and as extensions for the saw. I have some extra 3/4" plywood around, so I thought I could make the entire project using glued-up double and triple thicknesses of plywood (about 1-1/2 and 2-1/4 final sizes) as needed for parts of the frame.
Wanted to ask the group here is you thought if glued-up (laminated, or stacked) plywood would also work for the legs for these benches. I am planning on using 6 legs for each 7' long bench. I thought that at least three 3/4" pieces for each leg, glued and clamped to create 2-1/4" thicknesses for each leg, would work. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Eric
