I am making a board for the workshop I am going to set up with my new lineshaft, and Wilesco stuff.  I am using good 3/4 inch plywood.  I will post a pic after I stain and urethane it this evening(maybe tomorrow)  If anyone here ever needs some nice pieces of oak (or plywood), let me know, I have access to a lot of it. I can cut it to basic shape, and ship it. It is used packing material, but I have already made quite a few things from it.  Including a new mantle for the upstairs fireplace!  All you would have to pay for is shipping.
