What to do with a FREE sheet of plywood?

Nicely done, if you ever don’t know what to do with a free sheet of plywood let me know, and I will forward my address of where to send to, LOL.

Well done!! Great project, very useful.

If I can’t use it right away I squirrel it.

Excellent use of a free product.

Any tips on your painting techniques, I cant see any grain showing through the white paint as the problem Ive had in the past.

The grain is still showing. I put 3 coats of Latex paint but it still shows. Somethimes I’ll use a primer and that seems to help a bit.

I would have stained it but the grain was not pretty.

MDW,

Oh, the burden of potential…especially free potential. Building units like this takes patience and a good dado blade. Either the free board was enormous or you also added some material. Did you consider adding a 1/4 inch thick facing of nice, naturally finished wood on the front? It really dresses case work up and hides the dado joints. Thanks for sharing.

Boxguy,

I did have to add a half sheet that I had laying around. I used a 3/4 router bit with a homemade guide. I didn’t think about the wood facing (wish I had) but I did think about iron on banding but since I used two different types of ply it would look odd if it was stained. I decided to just paint it to match the existing shelving.
