SpyStyle's Arcade Building Walkthrough, What Happened?
pointdablame:
Actually, in his walkthrough, he says that MDF would be the wood of choice for a beginner. He then states that in his pictures he is using particle board (or chip board).
So, its not that he was mistaken on the type of wood, he just was using the particleboard in his pictures while recommending MDF.
danny_galaga:
right you are! Its mentioned so briefly in the first part i didnt notice it...
RayB:
That tutorial seems pretty complete to me. The only thing missing is adding in the "guts", but really, you can find that sort of info elsewhere.
My only problem with this guy's tutorial is his choice of wood for the main sides. Take a look at the close up shots once its painted. It still looks like painted particle or press-board! UGH!
:P
spidermonkey:
He is in fact using wafer/chip board and not partical board like he states. I just want to clear that up because what he's using does in fact hold screws very well but partical board does not . Wafer board definately needs to be covered with laminate as it will look like absolute crap if you try to paint it. That is a mighty nice tutorial. Definately the best one I've seen.
Pasqualz:
A builder friend of mine said that the wood Spy is using in his tutorial is known as Oriented Strand Board, or OSB. It's apparently used in place of more expensive plywood.
