Building a Custom Saxophone Case

I bought a C melody saxophone, but it came in a tenor sax case that was way too big for the horn.  So I decided to make my own case.  Here's how.  

Box dimensions: 28 x 12 x 7 (I probably could have gotten by with 6")

Materials:  top and bottom: 1/4" plywood (this might seem thin, but it's a pretty typical thickness for guitar and sax cases).

Sides:  1 x 7 pine (actually 3/4" thick).  The long sides are 28" (same length as the top and bottom plywood) and the short sides are 10 1/2"

Sides of accessory box: same wood as the sides, but only 4" wide.  I'm not sure about the exact length--I just cut it based on my drawing on the plywood.  

Screws: 3/4" drywall screws.  I used longer ones for the accessory box (maybe 1 1/2")

Hinges, latches, handle, corner braces--use which ever ones you want.  Rounded corner braces work better than pointy ones.  Big, secure latches are a good idea.  I used these:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2NMHH9C?...

Upholstery:  I used velour upholstery fabric, but you could use any kind of fabric probably.  A polar fleece blanket might work well, or some corduroy.

Upholstery glue:  Gorilla spray adhesive.  Available at home stores and hardware stores.
