Re: Laminar flow cabinet
FIrst time i am working with mdf
I held by breath hoping that the load would fit in the basement since i dont want to carry the 39 kilo sheets on my own.
I now see how laminated mdfs are very attractive to cabinet makers. Lessens the turn over rate by more than a half since no need for finishing! damn thing swells like a sponge though
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
predrilling had to be almost as deep as the screw, unlike wood or ply where we could get away with less otherwise you get nasty cracks
something to hide ugly counter sink jobs
So far this is the purpose of my right angle clamp. A form of counter weight hehehe
Here comes the test of High School Physics... I need to make independent switches for the T5's and the Germicidal UV plus have both of em in one plug. Come to think of it i have been fiddling with household electrical stuff rather early on before i did woodworking
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
ohhhh yeah! no short circuit or tripped breakers
switches... was meant to have them on the RIGHT side of the hood...... oh well.
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
cutting acrylic makes nice snowflakes.. that are hard hehe
i used the stock blade of my yellow CS. work ok i guess.
blurry image of acrylic attached
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
Nice house and clogs! Haha!
Kidding aside, nice work on that sir Ben, I do pray that you beat your Monday deadline for this. Question on one of the images above, did you clamp the two sheets because you'd glued them? Would the glue hold the laminate with the cut end of the MDF?
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
how much for those mdf? they're quite expensive in wilcon

hehe Thanks Jarod
they were clamped so i could drill and drive the screws. I have yet to make a cabinet inside right angle clamp for this purpose
Re: Laminar flow cabinet
next time Ben, when you have a deadline, just holler... we love to help especially with free merienda... you can do the lay-out, Jarod can do the cutting, Rolly can do the assembly and I can be the quality control. hehehehehe
click my signature and it will take you there........

Hi Rolly
I got the laminates at World Class laminates
1,480 for two sides white matte laminate
The one in wilcon is more expensive ( i just found out why) coz the laminate on the world class is thinner and the ones wilcon sell have a fairly think laminate its at least twice thicker. i think its 1,900 at wilcon, if using as counter top id get the wilcon laminate.

Thanks Timber!
I will definitely keep that in mind for future commisioned works (hopefully more to come)

Oh, now I get it. So this is all a drill and drive assembly for the most part. By the way, I saw a generous roll in one of the pics, how do you plan to attach the edge bands or watchamacallit?

Yeah! It reminds me of college take home exams which leads to eating and/or gaming. Haha! Don't worry I'm willing to help even without merienda, lunch will do. Bwahaha! (What is wrong with me tonight?) :p

Re: Laminar flow cabinet
hahahah nope its not (thank goodness) its a whole screw. It has a pair right about ten inches at 6 o'clock
its for the t5 brackets. I have to make a drill/screw alignment jig for 3/4 thick material soon. I drill by sight.. so far so good... but the screw heads dont align to each other 😛
