mdf or plywood
JustMichael:
Where's the sideart? ;)
Apollo:
You're right I used plywood which was a great choice but I had constuction grade lying around already so I used that. I can't get the surface as smooth as I wanted it so next time I would buy furniture grade plywood. MDF is a pain in the ass IMHO.

On my to-do list... I haven't had it printed yet. :'(
It's ready to go and on a CD, I just haven't sent it out.
Nefesis:
i will probably be using plywood then.
REBIRTH:
I would recomend plywood as well - a good maple/birch plywood (cabinet grade) as Oscar suggests. Plywood is actually easier to use (just drill/screw away, MDF you have to make sure you pilot hole every screw, etc), is lighter than MDF, and will last longer than MDF (if the cabinter is going to get banged by vacuum cleaners/kids/etc). Not that MDF is bad, but I would go plywood every time.
