Veneered chipboard is the stuff, - like what you get in cheap Argos furniture, or MDF but sawing up MDF is probably a bad idea unless it's done outside the dust from it is really nasty stuff.<br>
<br>
Circular saw for the straight cuts and a jigsaw for the curves, I can bring in a circular saw if need help, my jigsaw has gone missing though. I can also bring a pocket hole jig which would be ideal for putting the thing together, and some big woodworking cramps.<br>
<br>
CNC seems like overkill, you could probably do it quicker with just some handsaws and elbow grease :)<br>

from the stories i<br>
have heard in work (a few of them used to work in the<br>
gaming industry) the proper cabinets are mdf or<br>
chipboard, painted and<br>
vinyls applied.<br>
<br>
i have a hand held router and<br>
jigsaw if we want to do it old style.<br>
<br>
i remember graham was talking about getting a<br>
-big- cnc router, but i'm<br>
not sure if he<br>
did, and he hasn't been around much lately.<br>
<br>
<br>
It could be a<br>
good group project for a few people to work on if we all<br>
chip in on the costs.<br>
