While admiring your most recent project I had another look at the the sewing desk.
A friend of mine, who has evidently overestimated my abilities, asked me for advice about building some white built-in cabinets. The sewing desk, at least in the pictures, looks like the kind of finish I think he wants, but I have no idea how to achieve it.
He'll probably want to make his cabinets out of plywood, as he'll have shelves with wide spans and heavy stuff on them. I should add that he has pretty good woodworking skills, but does not have a shop to work in now. He may be able to borrow a space for a while.
On that point I suggested having a shop at least cut the pieces for him. I even did some quick checking to see if plywood was sold pre-"finished" with some sort of white coating or laminate. That does seem to exist, in Europe, but I'm not sure about on our side of the pond.
Any thoughts?
