Default home made particle boards

Hello,

Has anyone ever tried to make some at home ? From what I read on the
internet, industrially made boards are glued toghether by spraying resin
over the wood particles , then the result is pressed, and baked with hot
air.

I am thinking in giving it a try, with a home made manual press (not much
pressure) and possibly dilluting wood glue with tap water. Don't want to
baked it though. I'll just let it dry at ambient temperature.

I would use the boards for covering wood structures of furniture, so the
cohesion of the particles doesn't need to be high.

Regards
