Wood, screws nuts and bolts can be picked up from your local hardware store. This case used ½" ply you can use less or more, just make sure when ordering parts you select the correct hardware to match your wood thickness. This case was built using 2 sheets of ply, If you let the hardware store cut your wood, tell them the dimensions of the pieces you need and they will make the most out of your sheet of plywood, and give you the "scrap" since you're buying the whole sheet.
