You can't find 5/8" mdf? My local Home Depot and Lowes both carry it. I'm surprised that they don't have it where you live.

Am I correct in thinking that MDF would be a total disaster in a planer? :)

dema- My city has about 45,000 people. Apparently the Gods of Home Improvement have deemed us unworthy of 5/8" MDF. I can get it if I'm willing to drive 45 minutes north, but I'm not.

NinjaEpisode:
Dude 1 1/2 hours out of your day to get the right material is nothing compared to the satisfaction you'll have of building the thing right.

Hell, I'd drive that just to pick up the right part if necessary rather than settling on a sub standard part, or having to pay shipping online.

Veinman:
I would too, if it were just me that I'd be putting out. I don't have a vehicle capable of transporting a 4x8 sheet. I could have them cut it, but that idea doesn't appeal to me much. I'm afraid that I'd have them cut it, only to find out that I wished they hadn't done so later.

It's no big deal, I'll work around these issues. I don't think anyone can say he didn't have to adapt his cabinet plans to match reality. :)

amerish:
I had the same problem.
