DONT WANNA BUY IT AND CHIP IT SO MIGHT BE SAFE IF I USE MDF ???
Marky_1979:
Well think im gonna start this weekend with everything
What tools are best for cutting?
rgecko:
A Circular saw and guide (I just used a straight edge of scrap MDF that I knew was from a perfectly straight cut) for straight edges, or a table saw, a jig saw for any round cuts, the circular saw or table saw should also be able to do angled cuts on different intervals. 
You can also use a router with a flush trim bit to cut one side, and then use it to trace out the other side so that they match perfectly, you'll also use the router for your T-molding slot and finally a drill to put in the screws.

I started cutting all of the MDF early saturday and finished tonight.   I mainly used a circular saw and a jigsaw (and a 2 inch hole saw).

I used a speed square at first, but my circular saw had a laser sight that seemed to make things go faster.  I don't know if i taped the templates down at a slight angle or if the MDF sheet was off, but the speed square method seemed a bit off.

Anyway, the cutting was alot easier than anticipated, of course, i haven't lined anything up yet to see if it matches.

I also cut two sheets of MDF at once...

Thats one of my main concerns not having a background in woodwork i fear it will look very rough and getting it to look both professional and matched up is something that bothers me.

Plus im hiring the tools so need to make sure i get the right ones thanks for the help guys at present i dont what these tools look like but hopefully once i see them will have a better idea how they work.

Wish me luck as i cant afford to hire the tools and buy the wood and then screw it all up  :(
