One Idea I've had for making a dished shield (haven't tried it yet) is to cut two radii from the center of the plywood with approx 1 or 1.5 inches between them, creating a gap that radiates out from the center. do this with two layers of 1/8 plywood, then glue them together with the gaps on opposite ends. if necessary, screw some sort of metal strapto the plywood to hold it together until dry, then remove. should leave a nice dish shape when finished. When I get around to trying this, I'll post my results!<br>
