howdy yoll
i’m sure by now most of you
have seen my project lynxmotion.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1380
but what i wan’t to know is what are the best and easyest metals to work with
(you know drilling,cutting,polishing,bending,ect…) so what are the best to work with 
I would look at Aluminum ( 6061 or 6063 standard grade’s). Thickness about .063" for a match with the SES.
If you use power tools with it get the cutting oil and take your time as aluminum will heat up quickly.
when bending you do need to take the bend into consideration as well. may add some lenght into you metal.
i’m using a drill but not a electric saw
i’m not aloud to use them yet 
using a hack saw with a metal blade should be able to cut that as well. Since aluminum is softer than steel, it would take you as long either.
