I totally need to put my welding skills to use and make one of those. It would be so heavy though... Ok, maybe wood is better. xD
aluminum! Light and you can weld it still :3

Aluminum welding is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a bitch. Oh my god. If it isn't JUST so, it will clump up and soon you have a giant blob of aluminum accumulating on the side of the metal... ._.

A trick my boss showed me is preheat the aluminum :) take a torch to it or use a hot plate or something to heat it up nicely before welding it :) tig it on AC I think and use pure tungsten electrodes with a dull tip

Oh and don't rush it! Aluminum doesn't weld as quickly as steel. You have to wait until you see the piece itself start to melt where you're electrocuting it (keep the rod close so it stays warm while you wait) then dip it :) a quick blast at full power to melt the rod in then ease off and finish the weld :3

Oh and make sure it's clean!!!!!!! Dirt will screw it up too!

Lol... I know all of this... But it doesn't make aluminum any easier to weld.

I would really like to see more fotos of the way you all store your cards.
For the Xcel list, I talked with piotr a lot about how to get my cards listed. I took a detour wich cost me some time, but now i´m quite happy with the outcome. I can search my cards in iMtg and build decks, I would like to share my hole list with others, but that seems to be an unsolved topic. If you want to know more I could start a new post
