The fruits of my first effort in woodcrafting.
 
Objective: Creating a VVSS system out of wood.
Status: Failure
Lessons learned: Even on a prototype, don't skimp out on the wood.  Used some cheap aspen boards on this and the wood split and cracked under the stress of boring holes and drilling through with wood screws.
Future work: To build a sturdier model of this prototype.
