Cool what all did you do?
 
I got the plans online printed it off on regular paper then went to kinko's and had them blow it up to the exact measurements I needed.

Traced out the blue print onto the metal then cut it out with sheet metal snips.

Then I so did some bending and drilled holes as I went along and put it together with rivets. Also drilled the hole for the light as well.

Around the bottom I added L shape aluminum to make it even stronger. I wired it all up and there u have it.
