Hey everybody, I'm new here, forgive me if this post isn't formatted correctly or even in the right place!
I just started working on designing a Bluetooth portable speaker enclosure for a summer project. I am really new with woodworking and I was wondering if anybody here could help me figure out what materials to buy, where to purchase etc. Currently I have the enclosure designed with 1"x1" actual dim. beams for the frame, and 1/8" thickness sheet material. I want the box to be somewhat durable (for going camping, tailgating etc.) but also I'd really like to keep the material budget under $100 (excluding the electronic components of course) I have attached a few rough renderings of what I have so far here.
I also would love some advice on the joint where the front and top frame members meet (I included a high contrast render so you can see the current plan for the joint). I have access to a pretty good range of machines at my college as well as at home, so feel free to come up with whatever solutions you can think of. If anyone would like CAD files I'd be happy to send them as STL files.
