I'm going to be making a bathroom storage unit and my wife wants it painted rather than natural wood. MDF seems to be the logical choice but I've never used it before so I would like some pointers on the best choices for fixing it all together and putting the paint on.
It will look something like this but about twice the width and I'll use unpainted Oak for the top and handles and I'll put some Oak strips along the bottom to keep the MDF off the floor.
Pocket hole screws seem to be the popular choice for fixings on this type of furniture but I don't have one of those jigs so I think glue and screw and then use wood filler to hide the evidence. Is that a sound idea?
I'd like to get a nice smooth finish but I don't own any spray painting gear but I might invest in some if it's easy enough. What's the best way to go with this?
Thanks in advance.
