Possibly the foulest thing I've ever tasted. Look and taste like (I imagine) old cigarette ends in olive oil but with a rubbery texture.

Sounds expensive but it saves time and money when you're working in the middle of nowhere or miles from your workshop.

Jeff, just because you're working in your garage doesn't mean you should underprice. In the future you may have a larger workshop and paying rent, you won't then be able to suddenly double your rates.

Re: new to woodwork and the site, be kind.
Hi Dean, yes MDF is a good place to start, but you should know that when you start using proper wood it will react differently to your power tools and any finish you will put on it, so you will effectively have a whole new learning curve.
Good luck, have fun and play safe.
