Can wood glue be load bearing?

I understand your logic (You have no money and want to carry out the job with what you have)
So to answer your question of can it be done, the answer has to be, no, not with what you have. (off cuts, glue and screws)

Several of us have told you that it can not be done, yes chip board is made with glue and bits of wood, but it has a lot of glue and is compressed with a high pressure/square inch, something you can not do.
The problem seems to be, you do not want to accept this.
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

all i would add
is because the strength and use will be unknown the safest option is place them around the edge and make sure no one walks on them and only the lighter stuff on top then you reduce failure to a minimum
