Hey folks,
Need some advice on a couple projects. A friend has asked me to make a doll's wardobe for their daughter (similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Wardrobe-18-Doll-Clothes/dp/B0010AI19G).
I was thinking I might use MDF for this as I have a couple 1/2" sheets. Pro & cons?? If not MDF, what type of wood would be good choice? It will be painted and I don't think they want it having a wood look, which is why I was thinking MDF.
Second project... same friend asked if I could build them a mud room locker (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Miller-915-013-Pennington-Mudroom/dp/B003EEMPUC). They want three lockers instead of two, but I imagine that's an easy modification.
This would be my biggest undertaking so far, so I'd like to find a set of plans if possible. I'd also like some advice on wood for this as well. They obviously want it to be cheaper since they asked me :gar-Bi, but I do want to use something that will hold up to kids using it.
Thanks!
Dave
