I want to make a hammock stand from wood. I can buy 2x4s (actually measures 2x4) at the hardware store, but I also have all this plywood from these crates and only a limited number of projects slated for them.
I've got this crazy idea to cut the plywood sheets down to ~1' wide strips, glue and clamp them up to 1.5-2" thick, and then rip them to 3.5-4" wide--basically making my own glue lams.
A gallon of wood glue is pretty cheap here. My time is essentially free. The plywood is available. Any reason why this is a bad idea structurally?
