Re: Wood vs Aluminum

Aluminum is much easier to work with in my opinion and it is much lighter and comes in many more different shapes. Also in some tight situations, if you really need to, you can feed your wires through aluminum if you are using box aluminum. It is also a little more flexible from my experience.

The only downside is that on wood you get splinters and with aluminum you get huge slices on your fingers with sharp parts if you aren't that careful but overall aluminum wins by a landslide.
