You want one of those sheet goods handles from Lee Valley! Makes them quite a bit easier to wrestle about.

A cubic meter is pretty damn big. Doing a bunch of pedantic math, I calculate that a cubic meter is equivalent to, a bit under 18 sheets of 4X8 by three quarter MDF. 800 KG is about 1760 pounds. So one sheet of 3/4 MDF weighs about 100 pounds. I think there is something wrong with their number since I am pretty sure that a single sheet of 3/4 MDF weighs at least a ton and a half. Having lugged several of them up all the damn stairs to my house. *GRIN* -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
