Gunner, except for stuff that must support your weight, the rule in boats
and airplanes is about the same as in motor homes... Cabinets should have
light frames with THIN skins!

Most of what you build in there should be skinned with 5mm stuff. Cheaper,
too.

Ayup. And 4mm is 50 a sheet. Which is a bit odd..but you arent
paying for the wood as much as the glue and processing.



I picked up a couple dozen 4'x8' sheets of Lauan plywood from a local
company that repairs large truck & trailer bodies. They get roll up
doors & parts bolted to them, but there is a lot of good clear lumber
left for my projects. I picked it up for free, and someone else paid for
the gasoline.
