I managed to make my way into town the other day and buy some supplies for the project I mentioned in my previous post<\/a>. I picked up a 24x48x1\/2 inch MDF sheet and a pack of 6 x 1″ flathead robertson woodscrews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all the the dividers are installed and everything is screwed in. You’ll notice some problems have arose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you probably noticed I had some pretty substantial splitting issues this was due to 2 errors on my part. Initially my pilot holes were too small putting too much stress on the wood. Additionally my chosen screws were a bit too wide. I suspect I should have been using around a #3 or #4 screw rather than a #6. At first I was a little disappointed but have decided to treat this first run as a proof of concept. My chosen size and dimensions seem to be perfect for what I have in mind. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All in all I am pleased with the experience even if the quality is lacking, for the next trays I build I am expecting the quality to be much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistakes are never a bad thing if you learn from them! <\/p>\n
