Swan99Hoe Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Damn no menards here. I'll definitely check home depot. But I'll more than likely just stick with mdf. Thing i hate about it is that is splits so easily on edges.

Thing i hate about it is that is splits so easily on edges. Predrill all your holes and stay a minimum of 3" from any edge and you shouldn't have any splitting. Oh and make sure you center the screw in the edge your putting it in and drive it in straight. I had probobly 40 screws in my last box and not one split anywhere.

ColumbusJBR Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yea check local lumber specialists. I got tired of pickin through the scraps at home depot for decent pieces of wood when I had projects so I went to a lumber specialist. They are sooooo much better, and actually go out of their way to work with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColumbusJBR Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The butthole 19 year olds at home depot act like its a PITA when you ask for help, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanbro Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Lowes birch sucks anyways. Search for lumber yards near you that carry 13-ply baltic birch.

Fmxperson Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I get it for $34 per 5x5 sheet. Not bad at all. Shit that's real good. Def worth the price considering you don't get mdf boogers afterward. You dont like MDF boogers...?

Joe X Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Use Mdf screws, you'll need to predrill anyway but those really make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
