Workbench - plywood or laminate lumber
I'm looking at building a woodworking bench for myself and have
familiarised myself with the plans that are sold on the internet. All the Kits and commercally availiable, ready built benches feature fine lumber of 3+ inch thickness for the top - be it birch, beech or other. Since I am operating on a smaller budget, I was wondering what reasons are there why a sheet of plywwod - 3/4" or 1" oak or birch supported by doug. fir (4x) lumber would not be used? Would the plywood warp over time? Is that the reason? I'd rather learn the answer from someone knowlegable now than build it and learn the hard way. There must be reasons for the choice of real lumber for these workbenches I see foir sale (other than they are beautiful). |
