torsion box question
I have just finished watching the saw whisperers you tube video about building one of these for an assembly table. I also read several pdf's that say it does not really matter what the center material is as long as it is level and consistent. To come to my question, if this is the case could I not then offset the interior divisions like carpenters do when they install fire blocking? I've attached a really rough quick drawing of what I'm thinking, would do this to be able to nail from either side fully.
My other thought was why not half lap the joints, is there a reason not to do this? I would think that a much larger glue surface could be created this way. Thanks for any help. I have ordered more essential wood working from the library, since this had a bunch of great info about creating these types of box structures. Pat
