Radiator conversion custom made from MDF, by Frank

Description

For quite some time now we have been sitting at home in the living room looking at an ugly radiator. In this project I made a radiator conversion from cut-to-size MDF panels.

DIY: Radiator conversion

I'm not much of a handyman so I didn't think it would be a good idea to do the project off-hand. I made scaled sketches in which all wooden parts were precisely drawn and calculated. I did this for several views to make sure all measurements were correct. Then I ordered all supplies. When the wood was inside I started to glue the MDF boards together with wood glue as described on the sketches. Then I primed the MDF 2x with edge sealer to finish according to. Finally, the aluminum plates are screwed in. (Do not over tighten the screws because the aluminum and MDF must be able to work.) Looking back, this project was a very simple job ?
