Yes, I have considered them.  Our local industrial supply electronics retail store (Vetco)  carries a selection of Hammond Boxes and I didn’t find anything suitable.  I also checked the Hammond Web site but again the closest match I could find was a bit larger than I wanted (although, if pushed into a corner I agree it could work).

They are heavy aluminum — cast aluminum I think.  And, this is one thing I didn’t like about them but I guess my reasons for not liking them were a bit trivial.

P.S.  I should admit that the main reason I am not rushing out to build this W6PQL amp is because I haven’t had the spare time and I have this back-of-the-head thought that Elecraft would come out with a 2-meter brick announcement the day I finished that project.
