I saw someone selling a modern version of a traditional tea chest on Ebay recently.the ply used was 4mm. It's weight was said to be 7kg. I would've been happy to buy several of these if they'd been lighter in weight. Is the thin ply used in traditional tea chests still available? cheers

No idea what thickness that was but you can certainly get thinner ply - modellers use it for one
Don't know but an original unit here was extreemly popular with wood worms. I thought they didn't like plywood but possibly the plies were sufficently thick or the glue sufficiently tasty to please them.

Google is your friend
Plywood listed at 3mm 2.4mm 2mm 1.5mm and some as thin as 0.4mm
Not sure what size traditional tea chests used

Perhaps it's the garden party Raj effect. The woodworm equivalent to thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches.
