What happens here

Cut MDF sheets to size using a track saw for the back panel and side panels of the bed. Use 1/2-inch thick MDF for non-structural elements and 3/4-inch thick MDF for areas needing more strength. Attach the cut MDF panels to the wooden frame using a brad nailer. Add additional screws with the cordless drill for extra support where needed.

Goal: Cover the bed frame with MDF panels to create the bed's structure and aesthetic.

long now that we got the whole thing framed out it's time to start wrapping it I'm choosing to go with MDF just cuz I don't need the structural support of plywood and it's a lot more inexpensive and it's a lot easier to paint and to save a little bit more coin for the stuff that doesn't need too much structural backbone I'm using half inch MDF and for the stuff that needs a little more o we'll use 3/4 let's slice [Music] now I'm not going to pull the whole overprotective D thing but with a paie overhead I think it might be a good idea to throw some screws on there just for support so I'm getting ready to start wrapping the sides of this uh I am going to put cleats down here so I have to count whatever this height plus another 3/4 but I also needed to go a little a little bit higher to maybe an inch so that the mattress doesn't get pushed
