Is there someone local with perhaps at least a circular saw who could help me cut some panels? My experience with the friendly people at home depot and their wonky cuts hasn't been to great and I news dead straight lines. I would be happy to chuck in a couple of tinnies as compensation.

Thanks all,

Doesn't your Home Depot have a large stationary panel saw like ours? Unless the saw is out of alignment or loose on its guides it should be able to make straighter cuts than some weekend warrior with a circular saw. Even the folks at a Windsor Plywood should be able to do a better job on their table saw. I haven't done much finish carpentry during my apprenticeship but when I have I put the circular saw away and set up the compound mitre and table.

I agree about the use of MDF as being a poor choice for use in a wet environment as well. If you're concerned about the appearance and longevity of your finished product why not spend a little more for a higher quality and more durable material like plywood?
