Is hardwood plywood worth the money over sanded plywood if it's going to be painted?
If it were me, I would buy the sanded ply and poplar since it would be painted. More on reddit.com

Plywood 1/2" for sub-roadbed - "grade" to use? - Layouts and layout building - Trains.com Forums
I went to Home Depot to find some 1/2" plywood to use for a sub roadbed. I looked mostly at 2’x4’ sheets as opposed to 4’x8’. Unfortunately most of the sheets I came across were not flat, i.e. quite warped. I ended up getting a 2’x4’ birch plywood sheet which seems much more solid ... More on forum.trains.com

Would ½ inch plywood be good for this?

December 30, 2024 -

I'm building a built-in cubby bench that will sit underneath a window with a wall on its left side and a wardrobe on the opposite side. The bench will ultimately be painted.

Local lumberyard is selling 4x8 sheets of oak hardwood plywood for $100 and birch hardwood plywood for $120. Big box store has sanded plywood options at almost half that price, like $60-65 or so.

I'm going to ultimately paint this thing. Is it still worth it to buy the more expensive wood? Not sure what I am getting for the cost. I'm mostly just afraid of buying warped boards from Lowes since I don't have a jointer/planer.

August 3, 2023 -

I’ve started building my collection of tools since moving from home a year ago and it’s now a pile in the corner of my room. (I live in a townhome with roommates that don’t appreciate my tools on the dining room table). I have planned out a super basic cabinet about 20”x20”x60”. I was wondering if 1/2” plywood is enough or if I should go for 3/4”. Checking it out at Home Depot 3/4” plywood seems way thicker than I need and 1/2” could probably do the job. Was hoping to get other’s experiences on which they prefer and maybe specific uses for each? Thanks!
