Many people are not aware that ultra-thin plywood or Door Skin Plywood is available as a workshop building material and is perfect for small projects like boxes, trays, scroll saw projects, lawn ornaments, birdhouses, and even cabinet door panels and some plywood furniture. It can be cut with a utility knife so it's perfect for people who want to do woodworking with no dust and no machine noise, and still create some amazing woodworking projects without having to cut wood on a table saw or circular saw.

Fantastic, just suit me --- no professional electric tools, no dust, no noise, no cutting own fingers.

@roncowart7663 3 года назад

Colin, typically speaking, I don't comment on YT videos. However, I've made the exception for this one for reasons that are too numerous to list. I suppose the key point is, every single one of my reasons for "going against the grain" and commenting, are completely positive. You have provided more useful tips in a relatively short video than I've ever seen. And I truly appreciate it. I was in a real need to figure out how to construct a thin-walled box, that was strong enough for it's purpose and you walked me right through it. I also appreciate the drill-bit spacing tip. Well done, from a new subscriber.

Hey Colin, thanks so much for all your videos! I’m just getting started in wood working and have watched a ton of videos, but I like yours the best. They’re super informative and your humble down to earth manner make you a really good teacher. Thanks again!

@drboze6781 3 года назад

This reminded me of my dad making shop storage trays from 1/8" veneer paneling. Well, he used staples and white glue, but still they held together, even burdened with pounds of steel parts or whatever. There is something very appealing about minimalist construction. Subscribed!

love your videos! I got started late in wood working, after I retired at 70 yrs of age. I did go over a few years. I have minimal amount of wood working tools, but I get by, and your teaching videos allow me to build things for which I have most of the equipment and that is what is so neat about your video's. Thank you so much.

Hi Colin, I had a job on today with 3mm plywood. I had to make small boxes for a kids toy.Just by chance last night I came across this video. It helped me immensely. I made them just how you described. Many thanks for your help.

@gerhardtaxthelm6581 4 года назад

Hi Colin, I too have used this for longer than I care to admit! Must be 50 years! Even used to make cabinet walls without buscuits. Sometimes if strength was required a dowel or 2 was added at whatever angle was suitable, actually forming a V would add more strength than you would believe. I still nave an old homemade chest of drawers that is used to support my electric sander from Home Depot that is made this way! My father taught me this technique when I was helping him starting in 1967. He had bought a house called a "Handy man special"!

I had no idea I could cut this material with a utility knife! I bought a sheet of it last holiday season to use as the bottom of a desk organizer and have been looking for uses for the rest of it. If I can get a really good finish on the edges, I might make some drawer separators/dividers. I'm thinking the utility knife will give me a better finish.

I do something similar but I put the corner pieces on the bottom of the drawer - with a 1/4" piece of wood added, then glue the side onto it. I don't use your vertical supports but just glue the sides onto each other. Works great and I have a flat surface all around the interior.

@johngorman4052 4 года назад

Thanks for posting this video Colin, I need to get some organisation in my workshop and what a great Idea, I had been using galvanised flat iron to make boxes they are okay but the method of knocking them together means you have to cut them out with tinsnips then drill and rivet the corners and the thin ply is a more convenient solution and real quick with a bit of glue, I'll give this a go thanks Colin.

@MucaroBoricua 3 года назад

Colin, you should try making those thin plywood boxes with (1/8") finger joints. They will be as strong, if not stronger. They will also be more visually appealing and have more storage space since they don't need the reinforcers inside.

@timmothycopeland4866 3 года назад

I use this material cut into 1"-1 1/2" strips and half-lap joints to make display cases for Hot Wheels and Lego minifigurines. To stabilize them I either glue it down to another sheet of plywood, or sometimes just cardboard or posterboard as a backing. Make them from as small as 3x4 compartments to my largest 50x50 compartments.

@chrisgraham2904 4 года назад

Thanks Colin. Not many RU-vidrs showing how to work with these thin or ultra-thin plywood sheets. I'm developing a remote respirator with an enclosure containing the electrical, electronics and filter system, so I've been prototyping the enclosure with 3/8" plywood. I follow your same process for pre-taping the butt joints, then I tack them with CA glue & accelerator for positioning. I then follow the internal seam with a 1/4" bead of PL construction adhesive in place of the square wood battens and smooth them as you would do when caulking a right angle joint. The construction adhesive takes up less internal space in the enclosure than the battens would and seems to provide a solid bond. The only drawback is that the construction adhesive takes about 24 hours to fully cure.

@knecht105 4 года назад

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

@GraemePayne1967Marine Год назад

I recently had a need for a small amount of 1/8" thick material for use as a ship. Remembering my youth of building model airplanes, I went to a local hobby shop. Got a piece of 1/8" x 6"x 12" aircraft plywood for only a few $. They also have small dimensional wood, such as 1/4" x 1/4" x 24" hardwood strips, and also small metal stock such as brass or aluminum (round or square tubes, and small sheets), hardwood dowels in small sizes, and balsa wood in a great variety of sizes. I hace also found some fabric and/or crafts stores that carry these and similar products. Just in case I really do NOT want to buy a 4x8 sheet of door skin material for a small piece for a shim.

@raymitchell9736 4 года назад

Hi Colin, I thought you were going to make a drawer organizer system with the door skin material, yes, the boxes are cute and they would facilitate moving accessories around the shop where needed, but a drawer organizer system would be useful as well, I could imagine a grid system that allows customization of various sizes. You're right, endless possibilities!
