[HBR] Chassis kits

Hello All,

One method that hasn't been mentioned is what I call "Cabinetmaker's
Delight" construction. Remember the "Plumber's Delight" construction method
for beam antennas that was so popular back in the day?

This is just a thought experiment for me at this point. What about plywood
framing with heavy aluminum foil as a conductive covering? This would allow
connecting the parts with wood screws so that they could be disassembled for
convenience. 

Basic mounting of components could be done on a heavy aluminum plate, and
smaller aluminum plates could be added in. Mix and match as necessary.
Plywood is mechanically stiff, a good thermal insulator, cheap, and easy to
work. Has anyone tried this type of construction?

Cheers,

Brian
