Hello,

I just got a blast cabinet kit from TP Tools.  (It has the gun, plumbing, 
gloves, window, etc., etc.)
Their plans suggest building the cabinet out of 3/4" plywood, and it needs 
almost 2 sheets.
This means the cabinet will weigh over 200 lbs by the time I finish it.   Has 
anyone built one
of these?  Do you think it is possible to use thinner wood for some or all of 
it,
possibly with strategic reinforcing ribs, etc?
