DIY plywood enclosure/glue

[bassclgirl92]

I saw an excellent YouTube tutorial in which the guy builds a huge snake enclosure out of plywood and glues it rather than nails it, but doesn't state what thickness the wood is.

If I were to build a 4' X 2' X 2' and were to use liquid nails or loctite rather than screw it all together, does anyone know what thickness wood I'd need?

I think my builds are 1/2" or 3/4". Anything thinner you'll get warping/bowing issues.

glue will only hold for so long. I wouldn't use just gkue

Yep need to screw and glue for strength and durability and longevity.

Didn't learn much in woodworking class when I was in years 7 and 8, but I did learn that.
