9 foot Tear From 4x8 ply

[NightCap]

I came up with a cool design for using 4x8 Plywood to make a 9+ foot teardrop. Using Kreg screws you can use the waste area to create a front and back. With some glue and some screws I think this will work. I can put in the Dados at the same time. My software tells me it should take a couple of hours to cut out but it estimates a bit longer than reality. I have a 5x10 cnc and have been dying to cut out a teardrop. I can use an 1/8 in bit to get a small kerf around the windows and Doors.



Let me know what you think?

Pocket screws are great, I use them all the time, but a 1/4”Baltic birch spline in 3/4” plywood or a half lap would be better.
They provide more surface for glue and a more continuous joint than pocket screws and glue.

I can’t speak to joining plywood, but if you make it up to Minneapolis, I found 4x10 x 1/2” plywood reasonably priced. Not finished sides, but solid construction grade if you were going to cover it.
