Hello Folks

I am interested in making these display stands, what thickness of timber have they used for the legs & mdf? , what would you consider to be the best sizes to use?
Apart from the shorter piece are they full length sheets?



thanks

Err, measure them?

18mm mdf to be nice and rigid and probably 2x2 pse for the legs. Probably worth having a piece of 2x2 top and bottom of the sheet to stiffen it further. ......thinking about it 12mm mdf would probably be o.k if you've got 2x2 top and bottom

Looks like they have levellers on the bottom of the legs?

Well spotted Rod, I do believe that you're correct.

To me the legs look a bit bigger - maybe finished at around 55 to 60 mm square, and the boards look a bit smaller than a full sheet size, maybe 2000 x 1000 mm. I could be wrong.
What is that exhibition about by the way - it looks as though it might be something to do with Saunders Roe on the Isle of Wight???
