Mdf doors

[beacon14]

Looks great - but are those going to be drawers above the refrigerator?

Yes they are, I know it is not the norm but at 6'3" I can use them fine and it makes the space more usable. When we took out the old cabs with a lot of just doors we found stuff we put in them when we moved in 9 years age, I find with doors if it is not in front it never gets used.

The top drawer will have a side cutout to place items in from the side, that is why the glides are lower on the top.

Nice Kyle! How did it feel to do something for yourself?
How are you planning cutting boards?

[Kyle Stapleton]

Well it was not for me, it was for the wife but did not have to explain what I was doing all the time.

I know this is a bit older of a post but I've recently started to experiment with MDF. I bought a sheet from HD to play with and it just didn't carve well. It's pretty soft. After sanding and applying sanding sealer, the edges looked poor. I imagine it is simply a low quality/cost MDF.

Any recommendations? I've called around to a few lumber yard places and the general consensus is they order "MDF" without much thought involved in what type they are exactly getting.

Ross,
You'll need what's called a "Door Grade" MDF. It has more resin and machines a lot better. You'll most likely find it at lumber wholesalers who sell to cabinet shops. Lumberyards for home building will most likely not have it.

Atlantic plywood has good door grade mdf. They service new England and I know they have warehouses in ct. and ny.
