Love how you made the bendy mdf on your own!:)
That mdf looks clean...is that trupan or some other kind of formaldehyde free mdf?

I haven't, this will be the first time I have ever cut it. Should be OK though.

Yeah, I first did the bendy MDF on the juke kits. Works real well too. The MDF is just some off the shelf stuff from a specialty wordworking company in town. I have never dealt with Trupan before, but I have heard of it. I use a down spiral bit on MDF and then leave an onion skin on the bottom of the cut. Then I trim it with a pattern bit. There is a lot less sanding that way and the edges turn out really nice.
Congrats on the sign business by the way. I spent a long time on your site getting inspiration from Melissa's work I have dabbled in it a little, but no where near the level you guys are at. :notworthy:

Trupan is hard to find, it's imported from Chile. There is another similar product I haven't found yet in the US. Anyway, you would love it. After working with the regular mdf and trupan...you feel like you can take a bite out of the trupan, it's seems so clean and free of those chemicals they put in the other. Re: Sign business, thank you! We have been inspired by your work since the day ya showed up here so...no worries there. If you ever have a quesion about how we make the signs, materials, etc. Don't be afraid to hit us up as we would love to try and help.
:)
Can't wait to see this juke! I need one for my shop...but this one would be way too nice for that...lol.

I haven't made any progress lately. I re-ruptured a disc in my back two weeks ago lifting MDF out of my truck.:embarassed:
