It's actually DAMN hard to break them free, even with the laminated surface--I had to use a chisel and hamer to remove some unwanted sections after I unscrewed them. --- End quote --- Yeah, you can never have too much, though it isn't needed. I just glued the monitor shelf and base (but those are 1x2), the stuff that takes the weight. The rest is not glued and is very rock solid. |

I'm about to use bolts and zinc plated angle iron to brace my control panel to my cabinet so I can remove it and send it through doorways. Think that'll be enough? I'm just hoping the MDF holds. It's heavier than I thought and there wil be a lot of weight on the front of the machine... |
| SirPoonga:
It might hold. though there would be no difference in being able to take apart using l brackets or 1x1. Still screwing and unscrewing into mdf which you don;t want to do too much. |
| atomaka:
How much 1x1 lengthwise would I need then? |
| SirPoonga:
copy and paste the links. Don't need much. Look at my cabinet (on my site linked below) Look in the construction and finished. Basically there is just 1x1 going around the side panels. And small block on the inside of the cp to hold the cp together. |
