No router...
But you neeeeeeed a router Tim!
But does MDF route nicely? The surfaces is hard and smooth but the
core tends to be a bit soft and fibrous.
Yes, I do need a router, but ideally I'd like to do with with minimum
effort, just gluing, cut the ends (mitre) to go round the room[1] and hang
on upside down shelf brackets (between lamps) and a batten along the back
edge.
[1] I'm undecided whether to make stand alone lamp boxes or to run it round.
I think the latter will give a certain continuity. But again, it might look
weird for the bits that don't have tubes in?...
