Inspired by the Modern Maker Podcast's plywood challenge, the Minnesota Tool Library wants to know what piece of furniture you can make out of one--and only one--piece of plywood.
You can participate either by submitting photos/video of your project for us to showcase on our website and social media, or you can bring your project to the live showcase at Blackstack Brewing on October 13, 2019 and compete for prizes! Better yet - do both!
Check out the rules for more details, and to sign up!
