I'm interested in building several built in wardrobes in MDF. I need to achieve a professional looking result. I have reasonable DIY woodworking skills, but limited access to tools and wonder whether this is something I can undertake.
I had imagined that I would have all the major cutting done by a shop or timber merchant to my specifications. Willl I get the necessary precision from such a service?
I'll use a router to put a small radius on edges.
I was going for a "shaker" look and was hoping to create the panel effect by laying on 6mm MDF strips on an 18mm flat door. Will differential expansion of the MDF cause warping? What glues can be used that won't cause warping?
Are there good books or other references for basic design and construction techniques for fitted wardrobes?
Thanks in advance for any pointers
