Going to make something similar to this… http://www.djdeckstands.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=178
Must be cheaper to buy the MDF, get it cut, and then glue it together yourself… Might not look as professional, but how hard can it be ? 😉
Anyone made one, got any tips or plans to share ?
January 25, 2008 at 1:15 am #1153464Nah, it wont be that hard to build as long as you’ve got all the tools? if your gonna make that exact one, then make sure you’ve got a router, a plane and a fair few clamps, cos youre gonna need them!
Also if you make it out of mdf, that is gonna weigh a tonne! u could look into maybe changin segments for plywood or maybe a lighter soft wood (w outer venir for appearance?)
Other than that just make sure you have a really really good worksurace to work on, cos i swear everytime one of my projects has gone majorly wrong its cos of havin a bad worksurface
neway best of luck! (post pics when its built!)

January 25, 2008 at 9:54 am #1153462Buy the 90 degree bits of metal to brace the corners for extra rigidity and make sure you have the right size screws for the job. A nice big handle on the screwdriver is always handy as are posidrive screws. A plane will likely be handy for finishing the edges though you can get away with a sander if you are patient. Remember to paint it if its MDF [unless it has a finish on it already] to seal in the dust and stop it absorbing water:wink:
A good wood yard will cut it to size for you
Maybe consider screwing it to the wall for extra strength?
