Title: Control Panel frame (what wood to use)
Post by: gigido on August 21, 2015, 08:26:03 pm

Hi guys, I am building my control box and will be a sheet MDF for the top base, but was wondering what thickness and material you guys recommend for the frame of the control panel?

thanks.

What do you mean by the "frame" of the control panel?  The CP is usually just a box.  You can use good quality plywood or the same MDF for the CP box.  I would not go thinner than 1/2" but most use 3/4" i believe.
