That place is great.
What is "blue color"? No, I just visit Emigh's Hardware on Watt, where they have a nice selection of aluminum, both sheet and extrusions. I considered making the "box" out of aluminum sheet, just for the experience, and as an excuse to buy a pop rivet tool, but that seemed wasteful, to say the least. I knew I could make a nice one with MDF, so that's how I went, at a cost of $4 for the material.
