It would be cool if we could make it out of metal, but I am not 100% comfortable with doing this, it just seems that if we screw up it will be expensive and labor intensive to start over. If anything, to reduce weight, we could use 1/2' MDF and just brace it to be strong enough, or some sort of hardwood that we can use that is thinner but still strong.
