Hello Everybody,
First I want to say that this is a very cool forum and the members here have been extremely helpful, Thanks so far....
Now to the questions:
First, If I have my names right, can you glue two pieces of Melamine together or do you have to start off with MDF and then glue on the veneer? Could you just put in screw inserts if you can not glue them together? I have both and am going to build a router table and was wonder which way would be the best way to go.
Second:
PriceCutter.com has a router bit set that sounds like it might be good to have, has anybody tried these or have any thoughts on these?

Last but not least, I am building an in-the-wall cabinet out of white board and was thinking of using a wood veneer, then stain it to match the kitchen, or do something special with all the choices I have.
I have noticed there is the glued back version and the non-glued which I was looking at in Menards yesterday. The instructions were not very clear and it was something like put 2 coats of glue on cabinet and veneer, let dry, put down some packing paper, lay the veneer the way you want it, then start by pulling out the center of the paper and work your way out to the edge taking out any bubbles. Well if you use one sheet of paper how do you pull the center of it out? Also I have seen special veneer at a wood working store and saw some cool looking maple that peeked my interest.
Having never done this before, how do you do it right and what is the best supplies to use?
And is there one place to get these items that is better than the rest?
Thanks for any input you can give....Eric
P.S. I like the router bits because it would let me add another type of wood to the front of the shelves & cabinet, and then another type of wood veneer for the body of the shelves and cabinet....
