KILLER build so far!
Thanks David! Nope, no fancy metal working tools here. I just bent the box around the wood forms, the front ring, and the full back using a hammer. With all the relief cuts for the tabs, the 28 gauge galvanized steel is pretty malleable. It's from the heating/cooling aisle at Home Depot, used for making air handling ducts. I found a piece for about $8 that was way more than enough.
