  • 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?

  • Solid oak might warp with all that heat applied to one side. Oak veneer is fine as long as you can edge it in a way that pleases you.

  • Darn, you might be right. I'll start investigating oak veneer mdf or plywood a bi for more seriously. What are my options aside from iron on veneer? Need something that will survive the test of x2 cat.
