RE: A few things to consider

Good suggestion from the standpoint of welding, but stainless doesn't lend itself to the style of work I'm doing. Aluminum is much easier to mill, and the ability to CNC small openings, fittings and custom bracketry on the fly really empowers me in constructing custom, one-off designs. The fact that I can also clear anodize the parts within an hour or two of taking them off the mill is another huge advantage for aluminum. All that aside, I'm the type of person who likes to control every step of the process. Moving to stainless would be a huge step backward in that regard, requiring a lot of outsourcing and loss of control.

If you're correct, and I don't have the mains power to pull this off, then that's the end of it. I'll just need to keep looking for other techniques or construction practices to make it less time consuming.
