I ran across on craigslist a couple guys selling pieces (5.5' x 42inches) of bowling alley wood...
Couple questions and ideas to run by you guys - please let me know what you think...
1. I plan to make a work bench from it - if it can take a beating from bowling balls then I probably can't hurt it much, huh!?!
2. Cost $50 per piece. I want 2 pieces. Is this a good price?
3. costs $50 per piece. They are about 2 or so inches thick. I was thinking of getting two pieces and glueing them together to make a real thick table - like 4 inches thick. Heavy and strong... (I'll glue the backs so the shiney sides are bottom and top...) SOooo. $100 total for the top. I will still have to fabricate the rest of the table...
a.) should I do this? is 4+ inches excessive? (well I'll probably want it anyway!) LOL I want it heavy as well as strong!
b.) glue? how to clamp? what kind of glue? etc...
4. Is there anything I should look out for?
5. did I forget to ask something? haha
6. I know someone posted something about doing this very thing... so I will search for that... its how I thought of doing this idea!
Thanks (TIA)
