Trying to make my own drawer and box system, I am after the fancy aluminium angle to finnish up the edges and corners.
Any idea where I can get that from?
Tried to google it, no luck and the aluminium
shop has just the plain stuff.
Hope I explained it right :)

I assume you mean the "checker plate" style pattern?

I went to a sheet metal
shop & got then to bend up some angle from Al. thin gauge chequer plate. These used scrap off cuts & it did'nt cost me all that much. Sparky

Yup- try your local sheet metal
shop. They can guillotine to length & bend to all angles. A few bucks is gonna sve a lot of headaches

Have you looked in the Camec catalogue www.camec.com.au/ ? Look in the RV section under Building Materials.
You could try caravan repairers and ships chandlers.

Hi Kangas,
Bunnings have flat and ribbed (ribs running lengthways) thin gauge ally angle in different sizes, check with the lady at
the entrance and she should point you towards the correct isle.

For a fraction over what you pay at Bunnings for a 2 metre length a metal specialist that sells 8 metre lengths will give you 400% more ally for your buck.
