Seat back angle cutting

While waiting for some help on riveting the fuselage, I’m moving on to work on the seat backs. I want to be able to sit in this thing once I turn it over! I fabricated the 8 angles needed for the seat backs.

There were several chunks of angle to cut, and they wouldn’t fit in the band saw. I dragged out a special metal cutting wheel I bought a while back for the chop saw. I didn’t work very well on aluminum at all. It tends to melt the aluminum instead of cutting it. I tried a really fined toothed blade in my Skilsaw instead. That ended up working really well.
