MDF pricing
« on: February 08, 2004, 03:39:38 pm »
How much does it cost to buy enough MDF for a single-player arcade control?  I am totally clueless... I can't find anything online either.  I'm looking for a ballpark estimate; right now I do'nt know if it'd cost me $15 or $50!!

A full sheet of MDF here is about $15.  If you are talking just a single player control box that would be more than enough.

The sheets I bought were two feet by four feet.  1/2" thick cost about $10 and 3/4" thick was about $11.  That's in Canadian dollars, not sure about how much it is in USD.

Wow, there must be some crazy price variations from state to state.  The HD here in NY wants closer to $20 for a sheet of 4x8x 3/4!

Odd...and depressing.  :(
