MDF vs MDO

[Phil Phelps]

Close Phil. I think HDO stands for HIGH density overlay

I did say "heavy". Second mistake I made in my life (Keep it to yourself, Ken)

[Byron Trantham]

I have used MDF for all my shop cabinets. The stuff is strong, albeit heavy, and easy to paint. To preclude a water problem, I attached 1: diameter mail type plastic skids. This raises the cabinet about 1/4" off the floor (concrete). If there is enough water to raise the level of a 20'x20' to 1/4" I'm in deep ca ca. Means my sump pump and/or my generator has quit so I have bigger problems than my cabinets Here's a pic of the last cabinet I made for my drill press.
