| MDF gives off a boatload of nasty dust when cut. Wear a mask. |
| MDF is useless for ledger use because you cannot screw into the edges. It splits very easily if you do. |
| Lexan is infinitely easier to work with than cheap acrylic plastics. |

| T-Nuts are a great way to attach your joysticks without having bolts showing on your CP. |
