  • Radiator covers. I want to make one as my radiator is larger than all the ready made ones. I'm planning on using 18mm mdf for the main body, and then either a solid oak or oak veneered mdf for the top.

    For the main body, is there any reason I shouldn't make it out of one piece of mdf, cutting out the squares, rather than piece by piece and joining them together? All the ones I've seen are joined with biscuits and glue but just seems like a lot of extra effort?

  • I've looked really closely at my folks and I'm pretty sure they are one piece on the front.

    But as it was done part of a renovation I'd guess it was cnc as part of a batch.

  • I have a plunge saw so should be easy enough to cut out the squares cleanly. Just was wondering if there isn't some obvious reason why the youtube lot are all doing it with glue joints. Think I'll just do it one piece and save a lot of faff.

    @stevo_com No worries. Was planning on exactly that. It's called screening I believe.
