I finally finished the dresser I've been working on (it's #2 of 2, built to fit in our closet). No drawer slides, just paste wax, and made pretty much entirely from plywood and glue.

The project was pretty simple, but I went for (fairly) tight tolerances (a few mm clearance), so I was grateful for having made a crosscut sled on this one.

Very nice! What type of plywood did you use?

[-] jasparagus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Standard birch (not the super fancy stuff). I think B2 grade, 18mm (marketed as "3/4 inch shop birch here in the USA). It's pretty good stuff as far as I can tell, but Baltic birch fanciness would've obviously been nicer... I just couldn't justify the cost.
