Here, I’m going to talk about building furniture with plywood, laminating your own plywood, why that matters, and how it stacks up against hardwood. Plus, I’ll dive into the difference between Baltic birch plywood and your standard grade plywood—because not all sheets are created equal.

I started exactly where one should start when trying to design a Lego dresser, with actual Logo bricks of course. For this dresser design, I opted for four standard 2x4 Lego bricks and two standard 1x4 Lego bricks. The feet are attached using some 1x1 studs or snot (studs not on top) pieces.
