Is it possible to put a roundover edge on plywood using a router, or will it tear it up?

Why do forster bits cut a slightly bigger hole than regular drill bits? Dowels fit sloppy loose when you bore the hole with a forster but they fit tight when you use a regular drill bit.

Yes. you just have to be careful of voids.

If you have a warped piece of wood, for example, a twisted wall stud, and you force it straight & attach it so it's locked straight, will it always have a twisting force locked in it, or will it eventually conform to straightness?

Will Titebond III stick to wood that's previously had a coat of linseed oil applied to it?

Yes. you just have to be careful of voids.

Also make sure you use a sacrificial scrap of wood at the ends to reduce end tear out of alternate layers.

I have to remake my window plant boxes. I was going to put cedar around the edge, but decided to just use plywood. I will have to ease the edge of the plywood. I’ll probably add a drip edge as well…

What's going to stay straighter over time?

A 4x4 or two 2x4's glued together?

My theory is the twin 2x4s would stay straighter

IMO, I would say NO to any brand wood glue, effecitvely adhering to wood that has been treated with linseed oil -- even after sanding. Oil penetration is too deep.

I'd first try the roundover bit on a scrap square piece of the same plywood you're going to use. Then check the results.

What would be stronger, in this loading configuration, the 2x4 or two 3-1/2" wide strips of 3/4" plywood glued together into a 2x4?

 

[Rwhpi]

Since plywood is commonly used to stengthen beams, I would say the plywood would add greater strength.

PS: Obviously, I based my answer on a heavy load being in the bucket. In your photo's situation, it wouldn't matter. As it appears to be an empty bucket!

Yeah it was empty. Just there to represent the load. I was fully expecting my dog to knock it down before I could get a picture.

Now I understand. Thought it was a "trick" question! 😏

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

 

[Rwhpi]

About 24 miles per hour.

You've never seen Monty Python have you......

No sir, I have not seen the movie. I'm just going with the published engineering facts.

It's a funny clip.
