I'm tackling the building of the EDM device I mentioned in an earlier
post. Ordering most of the electronics parts today. But. . . .

The enclosure (12"x12"5" minimum needed for heat dispersal) is to be
built from sheet steel or aluminum (1/16"). The author presents three
methods of building the enclosure; I'd like to do what he did, use
aluminum brackets (L-shaped) to join together aluminum pieces --
sides, ends, floor, cover.

I'm hoping someone here might have built a similar enclosure and might
provide advice about how to join all the aluminum pieces together . .
. drill holes, nuts and bolts the only way? Thought there might be
some sort of space-age adhesive that might work.

Thought I might try to scrounge up an old metal computer enclosure, too.

Thanks for the help,

Brian
