I do
but sometimes you just gatta paint! :P
but seriously MDO is even better for laminating because the wood grain in plywood can actually show through laminate sometimes
and we've already discounted MDF cause is so freekin' heavy, and I personally don't like that its always soaking up so much moisture, and with the swelling, don't get me started
TAG:
In order to attach the pegboard to the 2 x 6s, I drilled holes through the boards and then enlarged the matching holes in the pegboard. From there, I laid the cab down on its front so that I wouldn’t have to fight gravity while trying to fit the back on. I had to work at the holes a little, but, eventually, I was able to get the quick release pins through.
Once through the 2 x 6, the catches at the end prevent the pins from being pulled out unless the release button is pressed. I figured that this would give me easy access to the innards while still protecting it from kids, cats, and other curious types. Plus, it should provide plenty of ventilation for the cab.
I stood the cab back up, and everything held together beautifully.
Then I moved on to attaching the administrative panel with glue and screws.
There were a couple of hairline gaps, so I filled them with some wood filler. As you can see, I drilled another hole for the CP cords, again rounding the edges with the router and the roundover bit (before I attached it to the cab, naturally).
At that point, I attached the metal upright shelf support strip where the monitor glass will sit.
And here’s a long shot showing the progress so far.
That’s enough for this week. For those of you who are still following along, thanks for your interest!
