Simple steel flasks

Well, they work very well. Very happy with them! Bolted the bottom two together to form a deeper drag for this piece.

Twelve years later and these flasks seemed to have gained weight! Well since that's not possible, I think I've lost some oomph in that time. I'm thinking about cutting down some of the flanges to lose a little weight. Ironman's (luckygen1001's) aluminum flasks are only 1/4" wide. They must be very light.
If I had an unlimited supply of aluminum, I'd be tempted to mold exactly his style of flask. But scrap aluminum is harder to come by these days. Seems every new kid on the YouTube block is melting aluminum, and basically just making ingots. For no apparent reason or use at all, except to stockpile it. So I am keeping my aluminum supply for more important projects.
Back to the steel flasks -- wonder how much weight I'd save if I cut the flanges to say 1/2" wide. Would it be worthwhile? Would they warp? hmmm...... :smart:
