[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7328696, member: 614752"] ^^^ this If someone is selling you "baltic birch" ply for under 90 a sheet you're probably being lied to. I've used the home depot "Birch" and "Oak" cabinet grade plywood with good results. Much easier on tools, lighter, and water resistant, and a bit more durable overall than MDF. I've used cheaper plywood and built solid boxes (for testing I use as cheap as possible). The "cabinet grade" with the veneer has less voids overall and no voids on the faces (to make better glue contact). Just my .02$ If I were building some high end home cabinets I'd pony up for the baltic....if I'm going to throw 2 or 3 sheets at a box that I'll scrap and rebuild in half a year, I'm not dumping 300$ on wood! I've had good results with coarse drywall screws and regular wood screws. [/QUOTE]
