I'm planning the woodwork this weekend so I know how much I need to buy.

with an idea of a track plan I'm working out where to drill for droppers and point motors whilst trying to make sure that no bracing will be where a hole needs to be, want to get it right before glueing and screwing takes place.

advice i have been given is to use 9mm ply.

not sure what to use as brace though.

don't want it too heavy

also toying with foam board edged with wood.

Need to chat to my carpenter now (hint)

oh and it's my birthday soon so making a wish list of what i would like/need to progress.

and must work out how to get my camera to take half decent pictures, the ones i've got so far are pretty poor and no good for the gallery

Photo tips appreciated.
