I received my THT plans but there was no materials list to speak of. Is there an actual materials list somewhere that I am missing?

I know somone had a real good thread with updated materials list.


But for consumables, basically;

wood, screws, PL or Liquid Nails, binding posts or terminal cup, gasket.

3 sheets 1/2" Aurauco or Birch plywood

3-4 tubes of PL construction adhesive

Box of 1.5" wood screws

Gasketing for access panel, available at PE

Binding posts, available at PE

Thanks guys. Anybody here used an air nailer instead of screws? I have the air tools and it would be a lot faster and make for a cleaner finished product. I would imagine with the adhesive it would be plenty strong as well.

5-6 tubes of PL construction adhesive

Three should be sufficient.

I use 18 ga brads for all my builds except for the second side, which needs a few screws to pull it tight. It's critical to use clamps and guideboards to pull the joints tight and true and then use the brad shooter to secure the joint.

I did for some pieces but screwed for most of it. Several guys have nailed theres so go for it.

True. Come to think of it, I only used about 3.5 tubes. And that was gobbing it on

Yes, I used brads instead of screws.


I did this with the intention of easier finishing options.
