Thanks for the detailed information. Perfect as I'm about to tackle this project soon. Have a question tho.....why not choose melamine as there are way cheaper and no painting required.?
You can certainly use melamine. I don’t because of weight. This project was heavy enough. I find it more brittle. Screws don’t hold quite as well. Plywood is more forgiving when rotating and moving a large project. You also have to buy veneer and heat it on your end grain to conceal your cuts. All within the capabilities of the average person, just not the direction we were going. Whatever you choose to use, I am sure it will be a fantastic project.
Nice video, the interaction with the family while making the video was a plus.
Can I hire you ?
