In comparison to chipboard plywood is like gold bar to cooking alfoil in value & quality.

Meth heads are great at taking shit apart but like their lives can't ever seem to get it back together again.... If you ever go to a storage action you will find out what I mean if you buy a unit full of boxes sealed with duct tape....

Nothing was said about needing a driver - phillips or flathead!

@FrayedBear With Ikea there are always screws....

@Lizard_of_Ahaz I wouldn't know never having bought.

@FrayedBear Overpriced pressboard crap is all...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz & yesterday someone was going on about plywood being crap. I remarked that plywood vompared to what we call chipboard is like comparing gold bars to alfoil.

@FrayedBear Chipboard is actually stronger than plywood in normal construction but pressed board is just sawdust glued together and worthless crap.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz I suspect that your your pressed bosrd is what I know as hardboard in the UK. It may also be low density fibreboard.
I did not know that chipboard can be stronger than plywood.
Some fibreboard is useful for insulation purposes.
Back in the 50's there was a chipboard called coachwood that was superior.
Chipboard is heavier than plywood.
The art of marquetry is a form of plywood - try doing something artistic with chipboard.

@FrayedBear 3/4 inch chipboad is often used for subfloors and extremely strong as well as fire resistant. 3/8 inch is used for roofs and has about the same rating as 7/16 plywood. I used to repair mobile homes for a while and did some construction when I was younger. During the Mobile home repair days I saved the park owner a small fortune in possible lawsuits and repair costs and he loved me for it. He was looking at trashing one doublewide because the ceiling was sagging about 8 inches until I told him I could fix it for him. When he saw the "decorative" support beam I built into the unit he gave me a very nice little bonus.
