The Styles

I make a few different styles of boards.  Pros and Cons to each.

Traditional Style:  Made with 1/2 inch plywood on top and 2 x 4 on bottom.  The 2 x 4 frame lines up with the edge of the plywood, meaning there is no lip.  These are good if you might be a little rough with the boards.  These particular ones were made for my work since I knew students would be checking them out and would beat them up a little while using them.  Corners are all protected since the 2 x 4 are at the edge.

Lightweight:  These are made with 1/2 inch plywood on top and 1 x 4s on the bottom.  Great because they are extremely lightweight, however all corners are exposed and one good bang and you might have a corner bust on you.  Only recommend these if you need them to be lightweight and you are going to take good care of them.





Storage Experts:  These are designed for great storage.  Both built with 1/2 inch plywood on top, but one has 2 x 4 frame to the edge of the plywood while the other has the 2 x 4s sunk in so they can fit within each other. 





All Walls, no legs:  These do not have the legs that you flip out.  They are built with walls all the way around.  I built these with 3/4 inch plywood.


Kiddos:  Can't forget the kiddos.  If you want a small set, I can do those too.
