I am one of those few that edge screwed MDF. But it worked for for 2 reasons... #1) The MDF I got is 3/4" and VERY high density stuff (Melamine coated as well. #2) Pre-Drill Pilot holes. |

Jammaguy, Gonna try those screws listed. I am very curious how well they work. If they work for me like they have for you, I will be in hog heaven. |

After all my indecision I decided (along with my brother) to opt for the extra strength in the form of spruce ledgers. I managed to start constructing the bottom section oh my UAII today...hope to get more done tomorrow. Used 'Spax' screws (think these are german - our UK folk will have probably heard of these)...so far so good. Some pics below: No that's not a floating car in the background!...it belong's to one of the bosses, we have our own mechanic in house and his car is in for service. And yes, No coin door/hole...nah it was just more expense and something that I don't feel the need for (arrggh SACRILEGE! ;) Craig |

I just built my entire cab out of standard 3/4" MDF screwed into the edge. If you drill pilot holes then it is no big deal. I may end up throwing some ledgers in there just to be sure though. |
