The nice thing about about using screws and cheap materials is that I know I can disassemble it all, and do better later when I have the money and tools. And, not feel bad if the scales break in the process.
I would disagree that the popsicle sticks are any worse than other options. They can be made from quality woods with good grain. Provided I had all the tools, I bet you wouldn't have known...
Regardless, I'm starting to peen.
Maybe I'll come back to this one sooner than later once I have the peening down.
