but what's it going to weigh?
Some time ago, I decided to build a shipping crate for a tuba. basically a frame of 1x4's with 1/4 plywood panels and 5/8" plywood top and bottom. Polyurethane glue and lots of galvanized screws.
Looked great, and while not as bulletproof as your 3/4" job, pretty bulletproof.
Weighed 80 lbs. without the tuba.
