Keep in mind that sometimes, paying somewhat more for the chassis can make up for a lower shipping cost, too. Compromise, compromise, compromise...

The Amp Repair guy has a few videos on Utube constructing a few amps. He purchase his chassis ready made. Check Utube for the name of the supplier. And yes there are metal suppliers listed on the web. You need to find a local one to save on shipping.

My little local town has Al. supplier who will guillotine pieces to size for free If the order is over ?10.... I expect most towns will have similar.

I never bend pieces (although my Al. supplier can do that too for a small charge), I just cut angle-ally pieces and drill / tap M4 holes.

18 or 20swg for tank circuits, 3mm (10?swg) for chassis/front panels.

KB1SEL got the premade chassis and cabinet from ICA manufacturing in? NJ.? They come completely pre-fabricated and ship flat. All you do is assemble with machine screws. On most of em, they have the outer front panel, and also a 2nd front panel inboard from the outer panel. Stuff like vac caps, verniers etc, is between the 2 x panels.... if you want.?

The pre-made cabinets come in every dimension you can think of.? ?Shipped in the flat pack, the shipping is cheap.? ?ICA runs flat out 6 x days a week.? That's also where the .515" thick teflon chimney for the 10 kw 6m, 3x6 amp came from.?
