I just wanted to ask about this possible alternative for cutting the
aluminum:
a neighbor offered to let me use his Craftsman 10" bandsaw. Would this
be able to cut the 1/2" aluminum or not large enough a saw?

It will cut it with the right blade if you don't force it. Even a
porta-band will do the job.


Ok, thanks for your response.

Remember, when you send a boy to do a man's job, it CAN be done, but
it will be done more slowly. Make sure the "boy" is properly
supervized and not overworked.
