Step 2Materials & Tools
You are going to need:
Working Drawing (should be attached to this step)
5 sheets 6mm MDF
2 sheets 18mm MDF (about €19.50 each)
3 pieces of 6mm toughened glass (€40 total)
1 roll window tint
High Gloss White PC Lacquer - about 2 Litres
10 x steel dowels
24hr Epoxy
Lots of Cascamite glue
Dowel rod/threaded rod
scrap wood for making jigs
A Jigsaw, a Cordless Drill, sander and various hand tools. A heavy duty router and the following cutters: 1 mortising straight bit (3/4 dia or similar), 1 bearing guided bit and 1 long straight bit like the kind used for cutting kitchen counters, I had a single flute 70mm long one. As it turned out it needed to be so that I could use the edge of the shaft against the template as my bearing guided bit wasn't long enough. This is obviously not ideal from a safety point of view because not enough of the shaft was in the router....
Jigs are very important for this design and I really couldn't have made it without them. If you have any better ideas on jigs then please share them. If you make this then you will spend most of your time on this project making jigs. Make sure you make them well so that your parts will be accurate.
