How expensive would a solid piece of metal that size be?
For just that weight of metal...not too expensive. To get it formed into that shape, potentially very expensive. It looks like aluminum. Someone posted 23.5" x 23.5" x ~144" as the dimensions. This comes out to be 46 cubic feet, and would weigh about 7,700 lbs. A floor of the price would be ~40 cents/lb scrap price, or ~$3,100.

I took all that and lined…

I don't know if it's true or not, but of all the text I've seen on the internet, this comment has to be the most likely to make the people who read it reply with "tell me more!!!" well done
