Imagine doing a mock up in MDF, then a prototype in fir or pine and THEN
make the actual piece. Think of it - make your errors before you get to
the expensive stuff, figure out how to either avoid them next time or
fix them, THEN make the real thing. And you may be able to use the
prototype as shop furniture.

How would your last project turn out if youd made a prototype FIRST?

Just something to think about.

I have a good supply of 3x4 poplar palletwood. so i use that to make
my prototypes. amazing how the finished product bears only mild
resemblance to the first prototype.
