How can I figure the amount of weight a piece of plywood, probably 3/4 or
1" ... how much weight it would hold? It would be 24" x 60" and supported
on both 24" sides and one of the 60" sides? The weight would be evenly
distributed but there wouldn't be any support in the center except along
that one side. I could use butcher board or block, whatever it is.
Thanks ...
