you know what, I've heard about Aluminum as an option before. If the cost of aluminum for the project doesn't break my bank account, I'll highly consider it. I've had some guys in the film industry tell me about it...... actually they raved about it lol.

This is a great idea. After doing some research, I'm highly considering this. The only thing I have to worry about at this point is cost of building materials. Apparently, a basic riveting tool is a footnote of a cost, which I'm happy to discover.

Hmmmmm. This is a more than acceptable idea. Thank you! Will consider!

probably not strong enough for the heavy equipment I'm using this box for. Sorry I didn't mention that in my original post. BUT, I will consider for future projects. Thanks!

will very seriously consider! if it's just as strong as wood, the only limitation I'll face is cost.

Okay I need a doctor. You blew my mind. The only question for you is: how much money will I dump out for a 54x16x12 inch box? How many gallons would I need?

LOL People, I don't actually need a suitcase. Goodwill is not an option, obviously. I'm building a big-ass box LOL. The box will be bigger than a suitcase and will be used to transport heavy, delicate, and expensive musical equipment. That's why I need a lightweight and durable material.

I'm building a glorified box for my musical instruments and associated equipment. The details sound more confusing in text than they actually are. What you need to know is that it needed to be sturdy and lightweight. Also its dimensions are roughly 56 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 12 inches tall. My 1.0 design is exactly those dimensions. It fits most of my needs except it's too heavy WITHOUT anything inside. Contents include a computer, power supply, other tech, and at least one 88-key midi keyboard.

Could you explain/expand on your point? I'm interested, BUT I'm also the polar opposite of well-versed in metal-working LOL.

<3 You know what, if I could make my project out of the plastic milk crate material, my whole LIFE would be set! But I need the walls of the box to be solid and custom dimensions. The size of the custom-built box would be larger than a suitcase.

Wood is too heavy for the purpose of my projectS. The weight of the contents are already heavy And need protection. (Musical Instruments/Keyboards)
It's likely the exterior will take a beating.

not quite what I need for building custom-sized boxes.
