NP Cajun!

BTW: Aluminum works well too and is MUCH cheaper, lol. I usually get 6061-T6 2mm thick sheets from onlinemetals.com. You could probably get it cheaper elsewhere, but beware the quality. I've gotten some supposedly 6061 Al from elsewhere and it doesn't bend without stress cracking. The onlinemeetals stuff is MUCH better from my experience. Maybe the other stuff wasn't "T6" (wasn't specified), I dunno. Not sure if you plan on making bends or whatever, but it's something to think about.
