Re: Is Welding Worth It?

If you use thin sheet alum it can sometimes be better to weld. Though usable, rivets and bolts could rip out or bend the metal. A long weld, not just a spot weld, has more surface area connecting the two pieces. However, if you need precise pieces it's easier to rivet or bolt. I'm not saying keeping welded pieces flat is impossible, just harder.
