copper is probably the easiest, or aluminum, at least for at home. But it also depends upon what tools you have and how you want to join it.

How big a pyramid? Why does it need to be 'strong'? How long do you need it to be usable?

it would be around 15 inches high and 8.5 x 11 inches its base
it should be strong in order to keep its shape (there is no weight that will be put on to sustain)

Aluminum. You can easily cut it with a hack saw. There is a brazing compound that comes in rods that will melt and fuse the aluminum parts and you only need the heat from a propane torch.
