OK, so I have a question about "hardboard" referred to here on NCWW and on WW shows on TV - often used for templates, jigs and sometimes drawer bottoms.
Usually when I see the term hardboard applied, the material referred to is a light brown in color. The big boxes have what they call hardboard advertised which is dark brown and is what I grew up calling "Masonite".
1. Is it the same (basically) stuff? I've seen the lighter brown used on the Woodsmith TV show in 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" sizes - but I've only ever seen "Masonite" in the big boxes in 3/16 and 1/4 - but not really 3/16 or 1/4...
2. If not the same, where do you guys buy the lighter brown stuff I see used for templates and such?
Thanks!
