Laminated upright cabinet. [99.9% done]

I'm pretty sure you could laminate either. Laminate counter tops use particle board. I'm using plywood as I'd rather work with it vs MDF and it's lighter. I will have to use MDF for the CP however as it routes better.

Well not too far yet, but at least I got a start. I don't own a good circular saw so I figured I could just router cut. Worked awesome, the edges end up being nice and smooth and perfectly perpendicular. Only down side is the extra sawdust, but it's the finished product that counts right?
So I've got the one side cut out following what was shown in the plans of Saint's book. I see why alot of others toe in the front, it projects out further than it needs to. I think I might do the same. Once I'm happy with the profile I was plannting on just using this for a pattern with a flush trim bit to get a second perfect copy. I love my router! I took the advice of forum members here and when with a decent quality one and 1/2 inch professional bits... love them!
saleem:
yes,router is lovely bit of kit but,man,it creates a lot of dust,specialy when working with mdf.
i would love to have excuses to to get it out.i just gotta buy loads of new better quality bits as the ones i got are them cheapo bit sets off ebay.

I don't have a circular saw either, and I'm getting by with my router. A clamped straight-edge and a router do wonders!!!
I need to figure out what to do about my glasses fogging up every time I wear a dust mask though. :)
