Dan Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I've been wanting to make this for a while but had no reason. I decided to make it for my brother and will see him tomorrow. I am applying the poly finish now and hope it's dry enough by noon tomorrow. I wanted to see if there's much difference between using the 1/8" vs 1/4" for the cutting. I think both came out well and can't decide. I think I'll be using the 1/8" because I can stack more. Thanks for looking. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Great cutting Dan. I think the 1/4" looks better, but there is nothing wrong with 1/8" either. Next time you are in a hurry, try rattle can lacquer. You can get two or three coats in an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you are in a hurry, try rattle can lacquer. You can get two or three coats in an evening. I thought about using lacquer but the wife complains about the fumes. Thanks for the nice words and feedback. My wife also likes the 1/4". Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrampaJim Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Looks great - both of them! I love 1/8" ply just because you can stack cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's hard to tell from a photo and I might have a different opinion if I saw it in real life but I like the 1/8" ply as you see less of the inside of the ply which is not the most beautiful part. But, YMMV. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
