stealthy1 3,964 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I make mine 18 inches by 10, and 9 inches deep, find that fits in the biggest hob I've ever had, I use 18mm marine ply, not to heavy, but big enough to nail together Edited May 24, 2009 by stealthy1 Quote Link to post

The one 8,522 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You no got a carrying box,pretty sure plywood's sold on 8x4 sheets so it makes more sense to buy one in Quote Link to post
