ehh the only wood working I ever really got into was when I installed car stereo... really got into it when I had to lay frame for fiberglass molds.

but then figured out that Styrofoam works just as well and takes no time to make and shape... and if ya fuck up it's easy and quick to redo.

ok lets see
the canopy:
building process:
started with over 400 bucks in oak and plywood

size fitting

building the hinged top

interior priming / painting for water proof

exterior staining

hinges

knobs

fan system (not my chocolate hand)

lights being secured to lid

placement

back

i ended up cutting a large rectangle out of the top for heat escape and weight issues.
i still need to add the trim around the front doors to block escaping light, and some handles on the top to help lifting.
