Re: Joining MDF?

He is talking about VENEERED mdf, which is used in the
U.K. and all over europe because of cost. It is also
used extensivly here in the USA by a LOT of furniture
manufactures.

Many folks have no idea they are looking at MDF when
they see the finished product.

He is NOT talking about raw mdf sold in home centers.

How are you planning on finishing it? If you're going to paint,
pocket screws work well, and you can fill them with bondo. This would
still work fine if you plan on laminating or veneering it.

Crappy stuff, but surprisingly forgiving and fun to work with.
