    In Texas, we have a saying, "I wasn't born here, but I got here as fast as I could." The same holds true for my comment on your video. It took me awhile to get here, but I commented as fast as I could. Excellent comparison and great sense of humor! MDF and moisture definitely don't get along. That said, should I avoid using MDF for something I'm going to build that will stay in my garage here in humid central Texas? Should I use OSB or plywood instead?

    Thank yoy for the very nice video much appreciated; i am beginner DIY and i would know if in MDF there is risk for our health when we cut MDF because in it there is formaldeihyde (carcinogenic) even wearing mask

    Just start with my new jigsaw, what can I use the best for my jigsaw, plywood or MDF, and what thickness is the easiest to use for a beginner? Thank you for your story about Plywood vs mdf.

    Thank you for you video! I just moved from Europe and there we pretty much use MDF, because know a days there are a bunch of colors and textures. So, you don´t need to deal with painting and there is no need to frame the front, you just use the edge finish tape. I´ve been using MDF for years and it´s very reliable, even againt water. Seems a lot more work to build this way, painting and framing... It´s not a critic, just exchange ideas.
    Thank you again for share your content.

      Hi Marcos, Thanks for the comment, so have we convinced you to join the plywood tribe?

    Hi, I'm building a pantry wall with large doors (roughly 1.5 feet x 7 feet). The doors will be painted. So because of the size of the door and the fact that they will be painted, I want to use MDF. But the door pull I want to build, can't really be made from MDF. It would have to be from solid wood. Is this a bad idea? Or what precautions can I take to make sure it's not a bad idea? I assume there might be some paint splitting issues where the real wood meets the MDF? But other than that, are there any other considerations when making a door constructed in a mix of MDF and solid wood?

    Besides veneer oak (I think it was?) applied to MDF, what other good surfaces can be added that are really smooth? Thanks! Also, what are the costs of MDF, with various veneers, and plywood? Thanks.

    Just wanted to know the best bit to use to drill a hole into 30mm mdf. Tried a brand new 10mm wood drill bit as it didn't even penetrate the board.

    Hey Al…how is marine ply different to normal plywood?

    • @AlleninDurban
      @AlleninDurban 3 роки тому +3

      It’s all in the glue between the layers. Marine grade plywood has water resistant glue between the layers. That’s really the only difference

      Tricoya fully waterproof mdf would be an option. A bit pricey but for wet areas it would do well.

    I’m so sorry it took me so long to write a comment sir, but I have so many questions that it took me this long to narrow it down to just this 1 question.
    Ok, ready?…….
    I do a lot of very precision metal work and I’m buying a very precise fixture table that I’d like to use for both wood working and metalworking too.
    Which would be the flattest and hardest option to cover the metal fixture table? Do you know of waterproof MDF?
    BTW- I sub’d, cuz if you want to answer question…. Oh brother, I have questions…. 🤔

    • @Universalplysa
      @Universalplysa  2 роки тому +1

      Yes you can get waterproof MDF, it it will melt in severe heat from your metal work, the best option for you would be birch or marine ply
