Faraday Cage

From a sketch on paper, to a deployed product. It all fits well.
General dimensions: 48"X36"X32"
Materials: Copper screen, AL 1" square, AL 1X.125" flat stock, AL 3"X.125 flat stock, 4 stainless steel hinges.

This is the drill press fixture I used for most of the machining. This was modified shortly after the picture to use strap clamps instead of Kant-Twists as Kant-twists twist quite a bit. The cage was built almost entirely on a table saw and drill press. It has almost 300 8-32 screws.
