Interesting....we built ours without ever powering up the milling machine...we used the bandsaw, hacksaw, drill press, some cordless drills, the Rotex round punch, and the rivet guns, plus a lot of files to round off the corners. And almost all our metal stock came from Ace hardware, except the sheet aluminum.
