Re: How Not to Drive Your Wife Crazy: Mockup Before Milling

I always build a scale model of what ever it is I'm going to be making. I use any material I have available (cardboard, plywood, 2x spf, etc..)

I've found that we (my wife and I) are very quickly able to get a feel for "right" when it's full scale in place in front of us.

In my experience, there's really only one downside..... if I build the mock up too well, it ends up being used as the finished good for some time. Right now, I have a "dining room table" in place with a beautiful pile of curly cherry stacked up on the floor right next to it. Going on 6 months now...... :)
