It’s singular. You’re referring to one object. I built a Gallows for my project is correct.

Gallows is both singular and plural, for the plural you may also use gallowses, but I believe that’s overkill, haha!

It is a singular noun that happens to end in “s”.

It is a very old word, and its age excuses its strangeness. It excuses your confusion too. Keep showing your own thinking and you’ll get all the help you need here.
