It’s been a while since I’ve done aluminum welding—I wonder if I can push it to the edge? Surprisingly, it worked out. The thick material really helped.
Since all we need is to secure the multi-temp meter, I’m using 5052 aluminum.

Still thinking about it… The simple approach would be sheet bending plus welding, but maybe I should go with pipe bending plus color welding instead—it’s a bit more work, but…
I’ll think it over when I get home. Hmm.
