Including cutting Rs. 770. If I take full sheet, price will come down by Rs7 per square feet.

Now filing, painting, drilling (I have a driller, need the bit). and finals....
dont know when will do...

Thanks Kaushik for suggesting the place. Hope you have suggested the one where I went, but according to the traffic police man standing near the "bamboo bazaar", the bamboo bazaar is near Shivaji Nagar !!!
He is not aware of any Bamboo bazaar in KR market.....

I asked a pan shop waala, and he showed the exact place... Even the googlemaps shows the place.

The cop is right, Bamboo Bazaar is near Shivajinagar. Pricing of the MDF is good, considering you got it cut to size also.

I got it drilled @ a Grill making shop yesterday. Rs.100 for 20 holes.
And thanks a lot Gobble for mentioning to take a round file which helped me a lot in inserting the rodes thru the panels. I just connected and checked. Will sand and paint next week after removing the panels again.

Unless you have a carpet you don't need sharp spikes that look like weapons. Just a pointy but blunt tip will do.

Cheers

sharp spikes can be made using the machine used to sharpen the drill bits for lathe, all lathe shops have these
