Dining Room Wainscotting

image image image image

Here is a project I did last summer in the Dining Room – Really easy to make with very few tools.
Hopefully, this will give others some ideas and help out.

Made with 1/4 MDF on the wall and 1/2 MDF for the panels and stiles. Use poplar molding for all the other pieces. Took about a week to complete (Vacation time :-) )

Here is a link to all the pictures during the building process. Photo Link

However, use panel glue and finish nails to attached the 1/4 backing board on the wall..Then the stiles were put in with plain ole titebond and brads. Trim attached with brad gun and glue. Hope that helps.

I have not seen it done the way you did and it gave me an example of a much better easier way than the way I thought it was done. Thank you so much for sharing…. -- Rick.... Fort Worth, Texas
