I typically use an 1/8 or 3/16" on my chassis'. I have access to my friends fabrication shop, so I go there to do my fabricating. I use a plasma cutter for cutting the square for my power transformer. Otherwise it's the drill press that gets most of my attention. I fold my corners and then weld them. I sand down the welds for smoothness. I recess my bottom plate and then add countersunk screws. I also use a dye for punching holes in the bottom plate for ventilation. Above is a finished project that sports a powdercoat finish.
