What bothers me most is how to make such clean & precise cuts?
Nice cab, by the way ...
Thanks! If you’re concerned about making clean precise cuts of aluminum trim, please know I didn’t use anything fancy. It was simply a hack saw with a bit of patience and extra care. I did a practice cut and a practice filing first. I actually cut them a millimeter or two too long and then I filed them down a bit. Sorry for my slow replies, I was out of the country for a bit.
Thank you very much. There was nothing urgent about that. Just my inextinguishable curiosity about fabrication techniques ...
I appreciate even more the work you put into that cab ...

@amplifiednation : table saw?
(thanks by the way)
If you have the workshop space a table saw is an invaluable investment. You might only find yourself making one cab a year, but your wifelet will have you down there every other weekend making shelves, doors, cabinets, stairs, pergolas, and sundry lean-tos. Ask me how I know
Well, actually I know what a table saw is, but I was lazily looking for details, about the blade you should use for aluminium, notably. I've been told you can machine aluminium with a router and woodworking bits but I'm not sure the same applies with any saw blade.
I should have been more specific but would have enjoyed reading about any detail amplifednation would have had the time and will to expose here.
That been written, I should point that my workshop is almost all dedicated to metalworking and mechanics so it is not that much a "safe" place for pieces of wood, but the usual sacrificial ones ...
