Yep, plywood for the test.
I want to see what all is involved, what order to make the parts, how much work is involved, how things fit, what can I do better, what jigs/fixtures will I have to make, what do I need to adjust or change from my design, how much will I have to charge, etc.
It's quite a lot of work.
I think this is gonna be a nice piece, I just hope folks like it and want to buy one.

I'd love to see em in use.
I really enjoyed seeing the photos people posted with their pistols on the little coffin stands.
