I started my next project today, a side bench for my shed where I can plan and lay out small projects. I've told myself - no clutter on this bench but we'll see how long that actually lasts.
I started using some materials I already had on hand. The legs/sides and top are made from 35 mm grey melamine that my brother gave me a year or so ago. On slicing into it with the circular I notice the interior chipboard is a green tinge. My guess is that this is treated chipboard of some kind??
The rest of the frame is made from treated crapiata. I've been using Shedhand's frame joining method (http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=21112&d=1143376556) for the melamine to crapiata cross members - so far it works great. I'll post some pics when its done.
Meanwhile nny clues on the green tinged chipboard would be appreciated
Cheers
