[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 46221, member: 751"] I agree.Aluminum isn't much different from wood.A good hack saw with a couple of quality blades,a pop rivet gun,drill bits for the size rivets you plan to use,hand drill,tape measure,and marking pen/pencil.I'm sure there will be other tools you may use but that's just the main ones.If you can afford aluminum do aluminum.Find a local supplier and tell them your plans.They can get you out cheaper.Don't go for the expensive crap at the "Home (Rip Off) Improvement Centers."More weight you save now the more people/gear you can carry later.
