They used an aluminum-plastic-aluminum laminate stuff, like Reynobond. I
considered it for a similar cabinet project, but have since all but
abandoned it as a possible material. It's lightweight and would be pretty
easy to work with, but unfortunately it's primary use seems to be for
decorative fascia on buildings, so finding it in quantities smaller than a
half-truckload is difficult. Large signmakers also use it, but they
generally don't care to sell three uncut sheets at reasonable material
prices to some random guy off the street. If anyone knows where to find this
stuff in small quantities, I'd love to hear about it!
