Thank you everyone for your help and offers. Today I talked to some of my faculty and it seems like the project has a green light! I have checked out the links and they are impressive and will be useful! I would love to do have an aluminum or steel frame but I don't know how to work with it and I don't have the tools needed (also, they're more expensive).

I would like to hear some opinions on the design. Will it be able to hold its own weight and is it still to heavy? As for the plywood I will stick to your suggestions about the floor and the ceiling at 1/2-3/4 and sidewalls at 1/4.
Eh1133 I have dropped you a PM and I will definitely take you up on that offer!
I am very happy that this many people took interest.
