(...) If you are really set on a single backboard, I would buy 4 thin sheets of 4 X 8 plywood. Lay 2 pieces side by side to form a 8 X 8 square. Lay the other 2 pieces on top, perpendicular to the first 2, and screw them together. Cut the joined (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

(...) Building an 8x6 panel would take a very simple amount of carpentry skills. 2 pieces of plywood and a border around it made from 1x2's or 1x4's would probably be nice and stable. A little cross bracing in the back for reinforcement and you're (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

Not that I any authoritative say about terminology, but I know that I, and a few others, would actually probably refer to that mosaic as 'studs out' (since the studs point out to the viewer when hung on a wall). I would say, 'studs up' (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
