[QUOTE="user 34962, post: 512183, member: 34962"] Hi, Looks great. I'm about to start my adventures on a Jon build myself and have been lurking around trying to get some idea's of how I want to lay out my aluminum's. I have a couple of Q's. 1st Q: I see that you are using C-channel. Are you able to get a rivet gun into the channel to hold the framing down or is this something that you are making easily removable? I have a couple of rivet guns and see no way to get inside the channel properly to get a rivet in straight. Your thought's... Maybe I'm missing something here. 2nd Q: I watched a video on spot welding aluminum angle, I'm sure a few of us have seen this vid. I've never done this and was questioning if anyone has thought about doing what they can spot welding rather than rivet or using this practice and riveting only what is needed. Welding aluminum is probably the best you can do for strength. Your welds look good for this being you first time as you stated. I look forward to seeing more pics as you progress along. [/QUOTE]
