I have been considering putting a MDF top on my bench, and I have alot of questions.
I tried seaching the forum for info on this, but I must have done something wrong, as I know I have read that some people have done this.
As I recall, the MDF was doubled up (2 - 3/4in pieces). Were they gluded together, screwed, or both? If they were glued, what type of glue was used? Did you edge the MDF with wood?
What was the MDF sealed with? was it BLO? Did that keep the top from letting glue stick to it?
Did you put in dog holes? If so are they working ok?
Overall, how has the bench top held up?
I will be mounting a bench top Delta 12in Drill press to one corner of the top. Will this be a problem with the MDF?
Thanks!
