Been lurking and absorbing a bunch of info over the last few months and finally have a question I haven't found already discussed. So, my first post...
Just working on the finish for the sewing center I build for my wife (for her masters degree graduation last may...hey, everything in it's time). Anyhow, with this wrapping up, I'm working on securing materials to make the next project. It's a TV stand/entertainment center and I'm sort of winging the design based on a picture from the Crutchfield catalog. So, no materials list which means I have to make it up...
Anyhow, I just found a local source for all kinds of plywood...more kinds than I ever even knew existed! I need some sort of plywwod for the sides (using solid cherry on top with some cleats underneath and using cheap leftover birch ply for the bottom and internal supports since I won't ever see them). One option is to get MDF core cherry plywood. Or I can use regular cherry ply. MDF core is a bit cheaper but I've never used it like plywood...only as plain MDF. Any thoughts? Other than price, why would someone use MDF core plywood vs. the regular stuff? I'm going to buy a full sheet and have a bunch left over of whatever I buy. Though saving a few bucks is always good, I want to be sure what I have left over is usable down the road.
Thoughts?
