started building my new box today

[houndcrazy93]

Hey everyone I started building my first box out of metal today. I'm using 3/4"sq tubing in .065 thicknes. And for the top I'm using 1/8"x1"x1" angle. The sides are gonna be 1/2" plywood and the top 3/4" plywood. I'm building it in my welding class at the high school so its gonna take about a week to make. But I will take a pic of the frame after I'm don't and then after I put the wood on. Oh it sits on the rails, at the back of my bed like a tool box but its gonna be a taller and wider. Thanks

i would use 3/8ths wood for the side and 1/2 wood for top its going to make it alot lighter and will be just as strong
