Stock making

[charub]

Christmas is on its way, I have 2 weeks off work. I think I will manage to retreat away from the chaos that my wife, two almost teenage girls and a 3 week old baby girl will inevitably create to my man cave.
Once inside, I'm going to have another go at a stock. I have made one or two in the past from solid timber.
I came across some rather nice 18mm birch faced ply today at work that looks perfect for the job.

Is everybody still of the opinion that a good quality waterproof PVA is best for gluing the 18mm planks together to form the basis of my blank? I know that there are stronger glues available but I am concerned about glue lines, flexibility etc.

Any advise gladly accepted.

Thanks.

I used polyurethane glue when I made up my blank ? Good luck

Used both Polymite / Cascamite and water activated Gorilla glue and they both work very well. Gorilla glue is more readily available and expands to fill any gaps , so does need clamping up well or it’ll push the joints apart.

Hi

I made the plywood (HW80) stock of these using two pieces of 1" Birch ply (Scrap wood from our patternshop), I glued them together using PVA glue (Also from our patternshop!) and put a load of G clamps on to hold them together, I used a gouge that was intended for turning wood in a lathe to cut the inletting, Got it finished then sold it for some reaon!!

Try to arrange the mated sides 90° to each other for a seamless job

Apologies for thicko response but I don't get this and it sounds crucial.

It's not mine any more, The wife sweet talked me in to putting my guns under the bed years ago so that she could fill it with video tapes and DVD's

I had enough just to fill the cabinet, They almost fill the box room now

I used PVA for this stock for my Scorpion made out of birch ply.
