A very underestimated moment - work with multilayer MDF!

There's still a lot of work on the stands.
I show you a few pictures of the front speaker bases, the rear speaker stands will look like the same;Always been a problem with the MDF, especially when we have a multilayer construction. Over time, individual parts are beginning to show up - all of this is the result of improper processing. Soon I will show you how to deal with this problem.

Your woodworking is awesome! Thanks for posting! :)

I've only done simple 2-D veneering, that looks like a challenge...

I show you a German site, that offers such "DIY loudspeakers -cabinet " and please, for your attention, they want money for such a product;

Not everything is as easy as it seems, the problem with the seasonal movement of MDF material is not to be underestimated! Typically, problems with the multi-layered construction of MDF details occur after several seasons, I'll show you how I handle this task: 6.jpg
On the first photo, we can see the hidden problem that will appear in a few years is very well.
I show my way of dealing with this task;
