and if you've never used/seen MDF before do some research. Local lumber store sold me ****ing particle board my first time because I'd never used MDF before, luckily it was only for my false floor and didn't matter. Home Depot sold me the real stuff for my box (thank god)

fyi dont try to be all heman and think you can pick up a sheet by your self and drop it on the back of you ankle . I learned my lesson on that one and it was only a 1/2 inch thick sheet . I was out of work for 3 months while it healed then went back for 3 days and they fired me for missing so many days.******** pricks

get yourself a nice sheet of 13 ply birch...

haha not gunna lie 3/4 sheet by yourself gets heavy when you have to carry it for a short while, my workshop is behind the house and carrying a full sheet from the front of the house to the back around the house is a pain in the ***, but my house is also 100ft long so its not a short walk. i've always wanted to work with birch, it is like cardboard compared to mdf as far as weight is concerned

but routing and cutting mdf is 10x better. except for the dust, of course.

MDF is tougher on all your bits, blades and sandpaper. its much heavier so to a real box builder there are no advantages....

the place where i got mine from the 1/2 inch was like 6 ft above the ground and when i slid it off i didn't have it balanced right . and yeah i might be a little weak hell all i did when i worked was drive fork lift all day so its not like i used my arms that much
