[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 355111, member: 13419"] Got started on some framing using 1 inch 1/8 thick aluminum angle and rivets. Its pretty impressive how sturdy it is with these rivets. Unfortunately the welder didn't have any of the sharp angle stuff as that probably would have been easier to work with, but the structural angle with the radius on the inside seems to be much less flimsy. As of right now framing is at a stand still because we ran out of angle and the welder said more won't be in for another few weeks. I might just order the remaining amount online so I can make some progress. Also put in some large 3 inch pvc pipes for rod storage. That little addition ended up being a little harder than expected but it worked out fine in the end.
