Because of its dense, uniform composition and flatness, MDF has surpassed plywood and particleboard as the sheet good of choice for fine work and more routine uses. Jim Hayden explains this industrial product and its history in detail and then shares tricks and tips on using it -- how to machine join and glue it; which hardware and fasteners to use; how to laminate, veneer, and finish it; and how to find and buy it.
