The first pic is the core of the Ultimate Milk Crate. It is constructed with ¾ “13 ply maple plywood with a type II glue. The plywood was glued and screwed together with type II titebond glue until it was 1 ½” on all 6 sides of the box. In this picture, only the top and bottom is shown being 1 ½ “. The other 4 sides were built up after the pouring on concrete.





The 2nd picture shows the PVC wrapped in a heavy 6 mil plastic placed in the cure prior to pouring of concrete.





The 3rd picture below shows a hot melt gun putting glue around the plastic on the PVC tubes to secure the tube to the plywood and prevent the concrete from spilling out.





The 4th picture below shows the core poured with 160 pounds of concrete. 5 sides are now closed in and screwed together. Note, that I countersink the screws.





The 5th picture shows the glue being removed after pouring of concrete. Note that the PVC tubes have been knocked out of the concrete. The core is hit with a belt sander to remove any overlapping of the glued plywood.
