Rectangular box with 1.5mm thick walls.

I am totally new to 3D CAD. I want to draw a rectangular box with all sides 1.5mm thick. The dimensions of the box are 970mm x 440mm x 275mm high. I then need to select a point about 197mm from the back and create a slope at 30 degrees down towards the front. Following this I need to have a 25mm wide piece (again 1.5mm thick) turning into the box all the way round. Is this possible with Onshape?

1. Draw a constrained sketch of the end of the box.
2. Extrude it by 970mm.
3. Shell it to your required wall thickness.
4. Create a new sketch on the sloping face and view the object perpendicular to that sketch.
5 Sketch a rectangle allowing your 25mm returns on that face and extrude it, removing material this time.

I have a jpeg png of the object but for the moment can't work out how to include it here.
Like everything else it just takes a bit of research!
