[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 3460908, member: 570419"] MDF is my favorite to work with as it cuts so easily but there is a ton of dust. I don't use screws and use clamps only with Titebond II or III (I prefer III if I have the time as it doesn't dry yellow). I didn't like working with the Birch ply except for the dust but splinters were a *****. There were also some voids noticed in the Birch ply. Baltic Birch was easier to work with for me than the ply but it still was frustrating and didn't cut as well as MDF. It was voidless though which is really ideal for enclosures. I've also used oak and blond wood and I didn't like either for anything besides their look. I use a router when I can but a sturdy hand and a decent blade on a jigsaw can do wonders. I also never need to silicone the inside of enclosure as I make sure my cuts are always exact. Oh, and be careful if you decide to use the 11ply birch as it's not a true 3/4" which will **** up the edges if you follow a precise sketch (been there, done that). [/QUOTE]
