Lauan plywood (sometimes also known as Luan)

It true, sorry for my spelling

Well, it all depends if you wear the skirt or the pants in the household

Compromise unfortunately is sometimes (usually) not a two way street

Try "bending ply", "wiggle wood", "wacky wood".

Columbia Forest Products and some other companies make it. I've used it as a substrate for veneered curved aprons for furniture. The stuff can be rolled up and shipped in a square box. It bends in only one direction. You can choose it to bend either the long way or the other way.

Aircraft spruce website. 1/8 inch multiply shipped to your door ups. I think they have 2x4 and 4x4 sheets. A little pricy but a great material to work with.

I had moment to look up a link for the plywood. It is: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/finnishbirch.php

$64 for a 4 x4 sheet which while expensive it is very nice stuff to work with.

Maybe this helps? It looks like longboarders are also using 1/8" baltic birch ply. You've probably already found that though. . .

Darn strange Ed, I found some 1/8 at the Broomfield Lowes. I cut them to fill the whole door as I think it looks cleaner, then used those badass rivnuts to hold it in place. Worked out well methinks. I wonder if I'll be doing it all again in a years time!

Paul: where'd you order the sink/stove combo from? Online or did you find it local?



p.s. I can't sheet the rear doors.. I have windows waiting in the garage for me to cut big holes in them...

One of y'all needs to go down this road......

Ed, here is one that is slightly different...

I was reading your tread,
Does screw it probably the same price as Gold:huh
I try to get some to finish the inside of my van, I did the mistake of going to MB to ask for the price, 2,67$ CAD per screw:huh and without the plastic washer.
Don't need to tell you, I'm going to do a Mc Master soon.

Sam: thanks.. we've seen all the SMEV options on ebay.

Paul is a neighbor/friend of mine (when he's not in Antarctica - where he is now) .. and I was wondering if he maybe found it locally somewhere.

So what you are saying is if I can find someone to buy all those screws.. I can retire?

Almost, I was thinking: Am I building a rocket or what?

Gotcha. I ordered the sink online, it's a really well made Smev:

If I did it again, I'd order a bigger burner unit. The sink is fine but with 2 pans on the burners it's really cramped. 3 burners are too much but 2 big, well spaced ones would be perfect.

Just looked through their site, seems they've dropped a lot of choice since I bought mine

Over half way through down here. The dreams of driving off in the van and the sense of freedom it gives are making me nuts

From the cool trucks thread:



Lots of things Geek would love, but can't get.

Sounds like a challenge to me. Geek shouldn't back down from a challenge.

Pretty please come to US.
