Hi, thanks for watching, I accidentally uploaded this one with no sound! It works better on instragram where I also posted a fuller description: instagram.com/reel/C66nTbaoeXj/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
The material is 'Compacmel', made by Finsa. It is a very high density black-dyed MDF core, with a melamine face (in this example the melamine is a dark grey called 'Gris Gu'). Compacmel is sold by Lawcris in the UK and is designed as a lower cost alternative to compact laminate
@@Alastair_Freebird PS hi from London, I've been making commercially for a year. I know you don't have to share this stuff so it's much appreciated as someone starting out
@@stephenhull7120 Thanks for that. My original motivation for sharing like this was the pain of starting out on my own - I like the idea of helping others skip a few steps to get started. FYI I am more active with tips and tricks these days on the instagram account @freebird_trade, and the membership site www.buymeacoffee.com/freebird which allows me to get something back in return for my advice - let me know any particular areas of interest and I'll point you in the direction of any relevant posts, either free or in some cases behind the paywall.
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing work 👍🏻 what were the materials used on this project?

@@Alastair_Freebird awesome, thanks Alastair, I'll check it out. I've been using MDF, ply and some hpl but looking to branch out 👍🏻
