Screw the wood! MDF warps when exposed to any kind of heat.

I want aluminum for my Lawson HD manual press.. 16x22 plates to be exact.

You must be getting some "serious" heat.  I've never had any of my mdf's warp.  Curing on the pallets?

you have to get the double sided MDF, the countertop material doesn't work well at all.

Not to take anything away from this seller, but I've made almost a dozen of these myself. 

It's pretty darn easy and does not take that much time at all.  And yes, I use MDF and put Formica on both sides.  PM me if interested in the "how".
