miniwendy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Is there a source where I could buy milled MDF if I wanted to make something small from scratch? I know they don't have anything like that at my local hardware! Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just One More Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I've never seen it except in doll house kits. I've only seen MDF siding at HBS. I don't know if you could build with it because it isn't very thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATBIDLACK Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 They have 1/8 inch plywood pieces at lowes and home depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have bought MDF board at Home Depot here in Savannah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I used thin plywood from Home Depot to make an addition on my house. Then I glued on the siding sheets that were about 3 1/2 in. wide. The dollhouse is made of milled MDF. I found MDF difficult to cut and very heavy. I am also having a problem tape wiring the main section of the house. It is hard to get the little brads in MDF.

Jeffrey Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 i think you might be able to buy wall sections from realgoodtoys if you contact them. i remember someone saying here that they wanted to put an addition on their house and they ordered whaveter parts they wanted to make it themselves.

miniwendy Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry, wasn't specific enough - it doesn't have to be MDF specifically, just premilled wood. Milled plywood would be fine. I was just wondering if there was a convenient local hardware/craft store type source that I didn't know about that carried milled boards. I suppose I could order from rgt, but can't even imagine what it would cost. If I were a real expert at this I would consider it, but I'm definitely a rookie! For now I'll just stick with my local hardware plywood and those nice affordable siding strips from Greenleaf.com!! Thanks Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 For now I'll just stick with my local hardware plywood and those nice affordable siding strips from Greenleaf.com!! Sounds like the best and easiest way to go. I have never seen milled plywood or MDF for sale. It is interesting the Real Good Toys people might sell just MDF or plywood for miniature scratch-built projects. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
