using 1" thick wood youll need 2 x 3' x 2' for top and bottom, 2 x 2' x 2' for sides which will make your viv 2' wide x 2' high if you want it this high then youll need a back pannel to fit back which should be 3'2" x 2'2" roughly, on the front a lip off the floor of the viv i usually do them at 2" at this youll need a peice 3' x 2" and i usually put a 1" x 3' at the top, put your air vents in the rear they usually are sized at 50 mm but you can also get other sizes but youll need a hole cutter for this, glass buy the glass to fit the viv but be careful when measuring as you have to remember the glass needs to be removable from the rails which just about allow this so needs to be measured to your rails.
hope this helps
