Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
First we will show you how to cut pieces for the casework and shelves. Later on in this project we will provide instruction on adding decorative trim for a finished look. To cut the pieces for your casework and shelves, we used the Dremel Saw-Max with the Wood and Plastic Wheel. Measure and mark your cuts in 3/4" MDF. Mount the SM500 wheel in your Saw-Max tool. With your MDF clamped, turn on your tool and cut along the marked lines. You'll notice that the Carbide finish on the wheel leaves behind a smooth finish.
Step 2
Once you have completed your cuts, join the frame pieces together using screws and a drill, creating two separate boxes. See the Message Center Blueprint for detailed instructions on assembly. Now that your framework is complete, it is time to create shelving. Use 3/4" poplar and complete the next series of cuts with your SM20 tool and SM500 Wood and Plastic Wheel using the cut list provided in the Message Center Blueprint. Space your shelves as desired on one of your boxes and secure them using wood screws from both sides. We added a center 1x2 divider on our other box to separate what will become our cork and dry-erase boards.
