Since MDF is smooth and consistent, you only need to sand corners that you’d like to round off. Start by cutting the biggest pieces first (such as long shelves), and then use what you have leftover to cut the smaller pieces like shelf supports. The best way to do this efficiently is to plan and draw out your closet before making any cuts and then create a detailed cut list that tells you exactly what to cut. You’ll also want to cut out any vertical dividers you may be building into your closet. You’ll want to cut shelves and shelf supports. The video above demonstrates this much better than I could explain. Then clamp that to the table to use as a guide as you cut with the circular saw. To get straight cuts with your circular saw, use a straight edge (which needs to be at least 8′ long) or another straight piece of wood. Another good option is to use a circular saw and a straight edge. The fastest way to cut the MDF is to use a table saw, but not everybody has one of those. The depth of those shelves is going to depend on your closet, but I recommend staying between 12″ and 16″.
Once you’ve planned your closet (which I talk about below), the first step is to get some 3/4″ MDF sheets and cut them down into shelves. Step #1 – Cut the shelves and shelf supports Oil-based primer (can substitute water-based).180 or 220 grit sandpaper (doesn’t matter which).3/4 inch thick MDF (comes in 4’x8′ sheets).Brad nailer or power drill (Brad nailer is faster).Table saw (not required but will speed up the cutting process).
