Building own viv

[RNelson]

Right I want to build my own viv

Similar to this:

Was made by Jeff Politt off here:



But in Maple

Just the top bit for now

I want to make 4x2x2 but not sure on exact contiboard sizes to but and just wondering whether it's better to ply or contiboard the back?

Thanks if someone could help me out as I'll be ordering soon as I exactly know what to order, the guy at yard said just take measurements in and they'll cut

And how to screw together etc?

Thank you everyone

homebase and B&Q i think sell furniture board in various sizes and finished for reasonable prices, and you could use this to make a viv.

Want to make my own but just need sizes for boards

Thanks though

You will still have to build it, 'finished' just means the edges are maple effect too....
I would still use contiboard for the back to make it very stiff but that is just me

For the viv - 2 pieces 2'x2', 3 pieces 4'x2' and 2 pieces 3 or 4"x4'

2x2 for ends
1 of each 4x2 for top, back and bottom
and the smaller bits are for top and bottom of front for glass runners to sit on
