Torsion Box to support machining surface | |
I am building a torsion box to support the top layer of MDF. I used 1/2" baltic birch for the runners. I am using 1/4" Luan plywood for the two skins. I glued on the first skin and am about ready to glue on the second skin.
Before I glue on the second skin though, I think that I will mount the box in the frame. I am thinking about drilling through the end supports and using about 4 1/4" T-nuts on the inside of each end. I don't see any way to install the T-nuts after I glue the skin on. I guess I could cut a few access holes through the skin but I would rather not have to. |
