metal signs from the hardware store...  I've never done it but someone around here posted about it in the past.... might even be how fuzzlab was done?...  like no parking, no trespassing etc etc... Cut, fold, brace sides with wood or other material.... I think you bend the sign against a straight edge like the corner of a 4x4 board to get a good crease.. Cutting could probably be done with a standard hacksaw. I believe that the edge folds are what give it strength.. plus you can screw to them.

Tonepad has a tutorial to show you how to bend sheet metal. They did it for an amp head but the principle is the same.
