Shear a bunch to size, drill the corner holes, bolt the stack together, mill the rest of the features on parallels in the vise. If you don't have a good shear, clamp the stack and mill the long edges first.

Hoffman box - Yep - worked on my 24x24x12 this afternoon - drilling with a step drill - and a hammer drill to dive it - then on the larger square and round holes - saber saw with a metal blade and a little lube. Use large half round files to clean up the edges to match dimensions. Three meters, two large breakers, power plugs......
Never thought of the mill - I was wishing I could just cut it with a plasma torch - but I figured the mess would be the larger job.
I'm almost done cutting - almost time to mount stuff and assemble the internal plate while the box is on the wall.
