    Melamine coated vs. Phenolic coated Plywood

    Are these the same beast? Have you used one or the other and purchased it locally? Cost for 1/2" or 3/4" per 4' x 8' sheet? :dontknow: 1/4 sheet (2' x 4') of 1/2" thick phenolic is about $50. Ouch and yikes...

    A drill press stand, pine and melamine

    I finally got a chance to go to the "BORG" with transport; I needed a new soldering iron, and looked over the wood and saw what I needed to make a stand for my DP, which has sat forlornly on top of (variously) my sewing machine table or my writing desk! I used an angle gauge to take the...

    Melamine

    I'm doing a shelf for the Y corp. office that has to have supports (knees) under it. Shelf is 30 inches wide, by 120 inches long. To save on expenses, I'm using melamine and edge banding to do the knees. Despite owning a couple of "double sided melamine blades," I was still getting some chip out...

    More fun with melamine

    Even after making a tapering jig and outfeed table, I still have lots of melamine left over. And since I still haven't given Wayne back his countersink bits, I figured it was time to finally build a drill press table. Those small metal tables with metal ridges 1/4" from the side make it...

    Melamine help

    Whether you pronounce it mela-mean or mela-mine, the stuff has a lot going for it. Stiff, flat, cheap and slick. But, it's not easy to fasten fasteners! I'm trying to build an outfeed table, I'm tired of using the roller stands. Given the limited amount of space in my shop, I want to make a...

    Melamine Jointery

    I am going to make some cabinets for my pantry using melamine for the box, poplar for the face frames since they will be painted to match the other cabinets, and painted beadboard for the exposed ends. What is the preferred method of joining the tops and bottoms to the sides? Will dadoes and...

    Cutting Melamine Particle Board

    Hi, I am in the process of trying to jury rig a potable outfeed table with the top made from 3/4" melamine particle board and was wondering about the best way to cut it with minimal chipping. I just have a 40-tooth combo blade in my table saw and was wondering if that combined with scoring and...
