Has anyone tried building cabinets from aluminum angle?
I have seen the write-ups on the 80/20 and other similar extruded shapes. The 6061-T6 aluminum angle is substantially less expensive.
I don't have the skills to weld, so I was planning to use blind rivets.
My goals are to decrease costs and free up some extra space compared to the bulky 80/20 full 1.5" square profile. Also I expect that the finished product will be stronger than a plywood construction.
Thanks for any thoughts you all have on this topic.
