    I've been building custom frames and cases for a while.

    Could sneak a peak here at my current log.


    You can find square tube aluminum at Home Depot and Lowe's, stock varies. Everybody uses onlinemetals and mcmaster carr.


    My understanding is that welding aluminum takes a lot of practice and dedicated tools. Corner brackets, or inventive thinking and rivets, and you can figure plenty of ways to connect corners.


    Heard a lot of good things about 80/20, I think you contact them and they put a package together for you. Seems a little pricey tho.

    You can put together your own basic packages from mcmaster, search for t-slot components.


    1/8in acrylic (from Delvies or other quality source ie not Home Depot) is fine for non-structural paneling.
