Laminated Lumber

May 17, 2008 0 Replies

Just had the rerun of NYW where they built shop accessories using commercial laminated lumber.



SFWIW, you make a lot of these laminations building a boat.



A 4x8 sheet of 12mm, 4 ply, CDX is your friend.



Fill any surface voids proud with epoxy fairing putty, then sand flush when cured.



Use a 2" x 2" x 1/8" x 96" aluminum angle as a straight edge that the CDX pieces get clamped to while the glue (TiteBond II) cures.



Cut CDX proud by 1/4"-1/2", then trim assembly to size when cured.



Have fun.
