Hi folks, I'm a newly retired mechanic trying to convert my home garage from auto shop to wood working shop. I have limited experance and I plan to build some cabinets for the garage to learn on before tackling the kitchen ones. This site is absolutly the best and I thank everyone in advance and for all the info I have already read. Now my question, should I use MDF or plywood for the cabinets or can I use 1X12 pine? They will be painted in so finish is no problem. Thank you Keith
