I have in fact used 15mm Meranti ply wood for my entrance hatch to my barge, but it is always kept well oiled and covered with the brown tarpaulin that I use for the rest of the top. Even so, I've had to replace the screws for the hinges and make new holes because the old ones crumbled and became loose after a few years. Still it can be just fine.Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-91612005913267558422010-02-01T13:43:49.612+00:002010-02-01T13:43:49.612+00:00Yes, Kath's dulcimer top is of birch ply. Ver...Yes, Kath's dulcimer top is of birch ply. Very good quality but not cheap. The trouble with my project is that I'm only building the equivalent of a camping table, not a piece of furniture and the cost is already well over £50.Neil Corbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198251427537653059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-84136020518270768042010-02-01T13:32:14.416+00:002010-02-01T13:32:14.416+00:00curiously I'd be wondering about this myself, ...curiously I'd be wondering about this myself, as I'm thinking of building a doll's house for a friend's child (did consider a boat to scale, but a model of her own home would make more sense), and most ply I've seen has been pretty ropey, yet children's toys need something a little more robust. The internet tells me birch ply is the answer; I'll be talking to the lovely Graham at Fraser's Timber in Brentford about getting me some...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098938874477314472noreply@blogger.com
