That's me with the hat and white beard off to the left. (and yes, that's a lot of tuba power for a small community band)

First step was to cut out all wood for the frame. I'm using full 1" by 1.5" pine for the frame. I get this wood cheap from a local sawmill. I like working with it because the extra thickness over the standard 3/4" 1x's gives it a stability that I like.
