@ItsRobbAllen math is all torque and material science (sheer strength of L material). Plywood is a decent idea, but not good enough.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ItsRobbAllen if you were mating 10x10 to 10x10, plywood gusset would have 100 in^2 in sheer zone. Ply could do that. but 2x4?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
.@ItsRobbAllen only about 9 in^2 in shear zone. Ply will shred if humanputs weight on edge of lever. So: steel.
