DON'T cut corners on your benchwork. Your benchwork is the foundation upon which everything else is built. If your foundation is poor, everything else, no matter how well it's built or how expensive it is, will fail and be destroyed. <br /> <br />Plywood is CHEAP. Lumber is CHEAP. Foam is CHEAP. If you're worried about spending $25 for plywood, what are you going to do when you want to order $300 or $500 worth of turnouts? Huh? <br /> <br />Spend the money. Cringe when you do it. Do a "Cadillac" job, and smile that everything turned out so well in the end. <br /> <br />My nephew has a good philosophy about optics and hunting: <br /> <br />"Cringe once, spend the money, and smile the rest of your life." <br /> <br />Mark in Utah
