Ask your predecessors: Is the joinery board used for woodworking tables strong?

When you say parallel plate, it is actually a plate structure. This structure is like a house built with prefabricated components. Pillarless, mostly used in cabinets. It is not recommended to make a workbench. It is best to use wooden tenons to make a workbench with frame structure. In this way, you can practice your hands like a novice. What Muyou said makes sense, because MDF is stronger and cheaper than finger joint board. As long as the hole of the log tenon is opened, it is necessary to reserve more positions from the edge and not to cross the edge. There is dry wood for sale. Look carefully, things made of logs are completely different from those made of laminated wood, just like instant coffee and hand-ground coffee taste completely different.
