Working with Plywood
I'm thinking about making a knock-off of this. http://forums.mathewsinc.com/viewtop...609ce552003988 I need help with corner joints. Should I just lap or 1/2 lap the joints?
2x2x48" high. Limited woodworking tools and skills. Hey I'm an iron man.

Well, if you're an iron man, you could use angle irons. Half lap, in addition, would be strongest, I'd think.

I agree. She used biscuits to give it stiffness and strength, because plywood joints are weak, even when done well. You want something that gets moved, especially, not to wrack and collapse.
Knock together a frame out of some angle iron, like old bed frames, and you can use thin cheap plywood.

Might I ask, just who was "she" that made, cooked the biscuits? Did I miss something?
BTW. I'm only going to use this thing for a smoker maybe once. Then I'll move on to more hair-brained things. No shit I pickup any old bed frames I can find, good iron. Want a photo of my little pile?

If you're only going to use it once, glue and nails would probably do fine, but if you've got space to keep it, why not do it right?

Yes. HM I know about biscuits, but I couldn't pass a chance to poke at Bruce. Don't have a biscuit cutter. Still want to know about Her, she.

My mistake, the avatar picture looked like a she, but I see the name indicates a he.
But for pointing it out, I'm not gonna let you borrow my biscuit cutter, so there.

Bruce. I'm wondering if things like this are safe for people like me? I remember the cajun microwave that I had setting on saw hourses and hit with the riding lawnmower. Well the meat didn't hit the dirt so I guess that don't count.
Hey hold my beer and watch this!!!

Sure it's safe, just keep it away from the buildings. Put a window in and you can sit and watch the smoke.
