After a break in the weather, I was finally able to go outside and start chainsawing the frame (I don't have a garage).
After measuring everything out I decided to make a few small adjustments here and there, but overall I stuck to the original Visio plan.
I had to use a Jig saw on most of the frame because of the angles, however, I used and defiantly recommend using a circular saw anywhere straight edges matter.
The sanding bit above is awesome for sanding creating smooth corners. Later on I used this same bit for sanding down the Plexiglas that covers my control panel, just like cutting mayonnaise. Get one.
Sides are done, heyeah! Now you can kinda see what I'm thinking for the design... Yes, I am using my laundry room as a garage, I know, I might as well go buy a case of PBR and skin a Raccoon too.
Back outside. I used 1 x 6's to keep the sides together sturdy. Also I used a ton of angle brackets on each side to add extra support. There is no way this thing will ever flex.
I took a ton of time here to make sure that everything was perfectly straight and square. If something was slightly off I would fix it, because I know how much I will regret it if I don't later on down the road.
