^Totally agreed.
I have to lean towards trusting welds more than trusting screws or nails, when it comes to either assembling the lower flame, or when it comes to attaching upper frame pieces. Also, if you made it so the two frames would way the same, that would be some awfully thin and unstable wood. 3/4 inch square aluminum is plenty strong for most frames, and is very light.
