Does not appear to be able to hold a 4X8 sheet of plywood - is that correct?

Unfortunately it won't secure it - you'll need to buy the plywood accessory.

Correct. The RK9109 accessory extends the reach to 50". Without it you get out to 36".

Yes. I used a 24" square sheet of 1/2" plywood for the table. Cranked it tight with the jawhorse and it ked great!

I bought a double or full-size mattress and supported it with plywood without a box spring. The mattress alone is just as thick as my old mattress and box spring combined. I use my same fitted sheets, and they fit okay. The bottom fitted sheet works okay, but it doesn't tuck underneath the mattress.

I'd have to set it up to be sure. But I can almost guarantee you it isn't tall enough. I think the extending frame/ truss structures spanning across the width and diagonals would prevent you from standing anything 8' tall in there. You might be able to get creative and put the four feet on some type of stand to lift the whole thing up though. Not sure how goffy that would look.

Plywood is not as sturdy as solid wood. I would suggest bolts with nylon locking nuts and larger diameter washers. I'm not sure of the correct length bolts.

No, but if they have notches, 2 X 4's will fit in them, allowing plywood to be screwed to them.

we love the stand - it is quite stable. we had to put our saw on plywood since the holes did not line up. I suggest that you add some spaces - 2 x 4 and put a piece of playwood on top of the 2 x4 and then attach the saw.

Yes I believe so, Mine was 3/4" plywood and it had space. If you're talking about thickness. You can text me at 865-323-5001 and I'll send pics.

My recollection is that the clip is expecting 3/8" If you have other size plywood, the clips can easily be bent with vise grip pliers.

When you use a 2x4 and put the recommended plywood depth as a top, it's almost flush. I used 2x6's on the top piece and 3/4 inch plywood. If you did it that way, and depending on the depth and length, you can hang the top plywood over the edge of the structure far enough to have a clamping surface. Very easy. My bench is about 30 inches deep rather than 1/2 of an 8 foot 2x4 (48 inches). I did that so it would fit into a certain space. The directions (if I remember correctly) are for using minimum cuts on full pieces of plywood and 2x4's. You can plan and make it any size you want.

I already had a box springs and mattress, so used that. There are four 2x6 slates that run the width of the bed, but they are VERY rough wood. I think plywood and a mattress would work fine. I really like the looks of the bed, but wish I had the extra side rail for added stability (didn't know it was an option until I got the bed and instructions).

I know it looks like a giant clamp, but it isn't. It is basically a light stand with a light clamp at the center of the "jaws". The "jaws" are a light sheet steel, so it would be nothing to drill holes to hold some wooden sides. In fact, the screw center clamp only closes to 1", so if you wanted the stand to hold, say 1/4" ply, you would have to add a piece of 3/4" stock to fill the gap.

I have to climb on it to change sheets (due to where I put it in the room) and it holds me without any problem (I weigh in at like 188) so I would say yes. However, for added strength I think you might consider adding a sheet of 1/2" plywood. The bed is for my grandchildren who are all under 8 years old so I haven't added the plywood yet, but think I will later on to give it a little more strength.

Box springs work fine. If you want a foundation, it would support 1/2 or 5/8" plywood easily, too.

This sort of depends on the thickness of wood used for the shelves and top. I've used a butcher block top 1.5" thick for my top and 3/4" plywood for shelves. Mine uses just over one half a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" for the shelves. Mine is really stable. I have seen them built using full sheets of 3/4" plywood for tops and shelves. They were stable. Remember that the shelves are mounted on 2x4 frames. I've seen two of these benches with 4x8 tops located end to end for extra long work space. Hope this helps.

So considering that a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood is roughly 86 pounds plus trim you will have a lot of weight to support if totally mounted on a wall. The mounts are pretty strong but I would use 4 with good screws that securely fasten to 2x4 wood studs not metal studs.

Yes. That would be a good idea. I would suggest you use treated 4 X 4 around the perimeter with a couple cross members and marine plywood though
