New technology, no voids, better glue. Ron, time for a new smart trailer build. Haha.

CG would be happy to supply every lumber store in the US with Ultralight, but getting into the supply chain is next to impossible. America demands cheap plywood, and Ultralight doesn't fit that niche.

[@GeometryBuild]

@@TheSmartWoodshop they are selling (that type of birch) for $130. And many online stores sell 1/4 of a sheet of what they call alternative at around $45-50. Which makes it around $200 per full sheet. Home depot sells EuroPly for a bit above $215. After all the price jumps - people might be ready to pay more. Don’t dismiss the opportunity! :)

Broad Leaf has been actively trying to get Ultralight into the supply chain for years with no luck. @@GeometryBuild

What happened with canusa premcore plus for an ultralight plywood? Is it not recommended anymore for some reason or just because it isnt distributed in florida?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

My first choice was Ultralight, but it went out of production, so I had to find an alternative, which was Premcore Plus. Ultralight became available again. It is my first choice if it is available to you. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqW3ZaWigJuYgLssi=wflSg3kGBJgDrRzo

What is the cost of the bench kit? The website link is broken.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

$695. I clicked on the link in this video, and it opened with no issue.

[@Obtuse94]

How does this plywood take veneers? Anyone tried on it much?

[@RoyatAvalonFarms]

Where is this Jang Su place he mentioned? Without saying a state or country, it is not intuitive where that is.

I built the original Paulk workbench out of 1/2" mdo. The local 84 Lumber had a load of sheets on sale. I had the pipe supports for me dewalt saw etc. I seperated from my my wife and I told her to sell all me stuff as I was in a funk in my head. Someone one got my Paulk bench.
