One quarter of an inch is perhaps overkill. One eighth inch Aluminum, with an occasional brace, always worked for me.BTW, I now use steel, either 12 or 14 gauge as the maximum or minimum, and I have the steel supply company, for a nominal fee, brake ( bend at 90 degrees ) the chassis, and have a friend weld the corners. This gives great strength and better shielding. Plus, the entire chassis can be powder coated, once I put in the holes for tube sockets and component mounting. Powder coating is way way COOL !!!
Wood sides are amateurish, not strong enough at the 90 degree joint.
