I love MDF because it cuts like butter and you can shape it with a spoon. I hate MDF because it dissolves into fine dust of questionable health value the instant anything hits it. The dust migrates everywhere. It gives me a new appreciation for sanding drywall which I think is somewhere between the 5th and 6th level of hell.
It was a good thing I quit last night when I did. I remembered a template from a previous job that I used to help dado the support brackets. Yes, I know I swore I wouldn’t dado. I have issues. I didn’t do that many and I’m done with them. Everything is narrow crown staples or pocket screws.
I got the shell glued and nailed together. I cut the pieces for the control panel box. and then figured out I was going to put a hinge that wouldn’t be able to open so I had to redesign the box. Now I just have to decide if I’m going to go back out there tonight. It sure would be nice to get that box on tonight just so I could see more progress.
I can't believe I made the first try so big. This one will be so much easier to move. |
