I have little experience with plywood. My only use has been drawer bottoms.
I decided I needed a quick bookcase in the basement. Instead of joining/prepping hardwood, I decided to give plywood a try. My usual woodsupplier was closed yesterday, so I decided to buy Home Depot's finest-- a 4x8 sheet of "PureBond" 3/4" thick Birch for $54.
The whole thing was a mistake! I did a rabbit joint at the top and bottom and reinforced with screws. Shelves of dadoed-- also reinforced with screws. The result is about 68" high and 34" wide.
Even with all the screws (which I completely avoid with solid wood), the result is still... FLIMSY! Sigh. Bad design for plywood or simply bad plywood?
