MDF wall panel system, waynescoting

I think it looks terrific. I assume that you had to do the milling. Did you use a router table for the raised panel or a shaper? If a router, what h.p.?

Excellent use of MDF. Well designed. I’ve seen some tremendous moldings built up from MDF then filled and painted. Seems to be the standard for painted detail in the Treasure Valley.

Great Look,
Ya know I always had a attitude against MDF but the more I work with it I have to change my miind. It is almost like clay you can do turn it into alot of different things. Nice job.

The raised panels were all cut on the table saw with a jig. (same jig as used for wedding box). I agree Baxter- i never liked MDF either, but it paints well and mills easily. The dust is a whole other issue! Even with the collector running, the dust is everywhere!!! My face mask even turned colors.

I hate cutting it because of the dust, but MDF shapes so well if you’re painting the item it’s almost the best material to use.

Great work, excellent results!

That really makes MDF look good. I need to wear a respirator any time I cut it, so I don’t use it that often.

Beautiful job! I’m not showing this to my wife because if I do she’ll want me to do our kitchen with it. ;-)

Another great use besides making jigs for MDF.
It looks great. I’m a firm believer in using MDF when you can, whether making jigs, testing cut or building pieces that will be painted.

John- go to my projects and look at my kitchen and read the story there. I built 26 raised panel doors and 6 drawers for less than $500 and that’s counting all hardware and panel raising bit.

Wonderful look to your basement! I’ve been doing mdf raised panels in the bedroom and living room. Thanks for posting.
