Hi, I know there are often several ways to do anything and my plywood
box is no exception. What I'm trying to find is some sort of tough
plastic strip-like components that can be used to both join and
protect the edges of the sheets of ply, where they meet at right-
angles. Also, if possible corner pieces too. Can anyone tell me where
I can get plastic parts like this?

B&Q,ect
These will be by the wood beading section?as for corners miter the ends of
the plastic.

==================================
The most likely source is 'plastic extrusions' in your local Yellow Pages,
which will produce something like this:

Although these extrusions are readily available I don't think they're
really intended for the kind of job you have in mind (box construction)
because of the difficulty of getting satisfactory fixings although an
adhesive might work for light use.

You want te stuff that the music business uses for flightcases and
equipment boxes..somewhere in Kent.

Couldn't find them,but check here

Maplin do these things too. Have a look in the cabinet hardware section

That looks to be very close to what I need, thanks. Maybe some square
section timber with rabbets to allow for the plastic, could be glued
to the inside for strengthening purposes. Either that or a similar
section extrusion as the plastic but in aluminium.

Corners come from any music / DJ equipment shop, or from Maplin (who
list them, but don't seem to carry them in stock in the shops any
more)

For strip, then I'd look at aluminium for strength. Otherwise just
round the edge of your plywood to avoid catching the sharp edge, maybe
cover it with cabinet cloth.

A biscuit jointer (they're cheap these days) is the quickest and
easiest way to make plywood boxes. A simple router with a roundover
cutter does the edges nicely too.

Yes, that sort of stuff would be very useful.These cases usually have
corner pieces too. I bought a small tool case from Wickes similar to
this a while ago. The only trouble is, it's heavy even with nothing in
the case. lightness combined with strengh would be the ideal for my
current project.

Couldn't find them,but check here

A model (railway, aircraft, boat) type shop. The would probably have

All at amusing prices.

B&Q sell both the plastic and the alloy angle, also at amusing prices.
If such usage is non-trivial then it's worth looking at trade suppliers.

I can't think of any fittings for *joining* edges, rather than
protecting them, that you'd fit externally; normally these would be
fitted to the internal corner: there are loads of different types of

The stuff Cicero mentioned and linked to seems close.

He does say that this may not be strong enough though.
Maybe if the inner leaves were deeper it would give more surface area
to glue to.

I didn't know about the dinghies, and I didn't know if you were serious

plastic strip-like components that can be used to both join and
protect the edges of the sheets of ply, where they meet at right-
angles. Also, if possible corner pieces too. Can anyone tell me where
I can get plastic parts like this?

These will be by the wood beading section?as for corners miter the ends of
the plastic.

Thanks, I just popped over to see what B&Q had and although there are
varous size angled section stuff in plastic and aluminium, they seem
too more useful for covering edges rather than joining them, although
this may do at a pinch.

What we sused to do was glue up the (coated) ply, put ally angle over
it,drill through and pop rivet, add corners with screws, and line the
inside with foam.

Hi, I know there are often several ways to do anything and my plywood
box is no exception. What I'm trying to find is some sort of tough
plastic strip-like components that can be used to both join and
protect the edges of the sheets of ply, where they meet at right-
angles. Also, if possible corner pieces too. Can anyone tell me where
I can get plastic parts like this?

This, more or less, was always going to be an option and maybe it
would be adequate.
It's just that in my mind's eye I can see the perfect stuff. I can
imagine it but I can't extrude it. :-)
