Whatever happened to wood/plywood? It is fairly cheap,
since you don't
really need top quality wood, and you can easily shape it to any
length/width you want.
Good idea, I'll stop by Ikea and see what they have. ;)
Perhaps you would see the humor of your suggestion if you looked at some of
my previous constructions in wood. My carpenter fatherinlaw about busted a
gut when he looked at a door I made. Lesson one, doors don't make a good
first project. Lesson two, in addition to a saw and hammer, a plumb and
square are usefull tools.
