Discussion Thread JBL 4343 to 4344 upgrade

[Mr. Widget]

I HATE, no I DEPLORE, no I DESPISE MDF for my cabinet making chores. It makes a cloud of dust that gets into every orifice of your body, doesn't glue well and won't hold a screw or glued dowel pin on it's best day.

I agree, I agree, I agree... unfortunately it actually sounds better than particle board or solid lumber. The two hard faces with the dust core make a self damping material that is relatively inexpensive and coincidentally about the best material going for speaker boxes.

As for assembly, I use a narrow crown stapler... fast and secure... don't screw up though, the joint will not come apart.

I wear one of these, with a half face mask... I've used it for years while painting, and it keeps the handkerchief clean it you know what I mean.
