Hello,
I'm a 25 year IATSE stagehand mainly in set construction, but also in other fields as well. A friend who works in construction asked me if I could build some 4'x8' luan covers flats for a portable potty covering. The construction crew said they usually use 2x4's and heavy plywood, which gets trashed afterwards. My friend wants to reuse the stuff and if it's light weight, he can just deal with the flats himself, loose pin hinging them together.
I just received a KREG jig setup from a friend and haven't used pocket hole construction much. I usually do biscuit joinery, but that's the tools I have had. I was thinking of maybe building these 4'x8 flats with pocket holes, no keystones or corner blocks, and glue and staple the luan onto the face. This would cut down on materials and a bit on storage space.
Has anyone ever used pocket hole construction for flat building? Any pros or cons?
