Constructing the Mendel parts out of MDF (Intro)

In order to save some money i'm trying to make the parts of Mendel out of MDF (wood). The construction is still in progress, which means i can't tell you for sure that this idea will work. I used the files for laser-cutting from http://reprap.org/wiki/LaserCut_Mendel#Downloads. Download the .svg files and use the Inkscape to open them. This files are used to drive a laser cutter, which will produce easily the parts. If you don't have, then you will need patience and enough tools to shape them.
The process in short is:

• Print the files in the original size
• Cut each piece
• Draw each piece on the MDF
• Cut it, not with much details
• At last edit each part in order to reach the desired detail.

Not very easy as you can see, but if you got already the tools the cost is 10-20 euros! You can save 150-200E. The process goes on...I'll come back with more details in a few days, presenting an almost step by step guide.

 Some photos to get an idea :)
