How practical is it for a Sonerai frame?
What I retain so far is the problems with quality control and low tolerance of errors in welded structures that are subjected to vibrations as in airplanes.
Heat also affects the metals in a detrimental way, and welding is akin to a craft perfected over years that is inconsistent across builders based on experience and methods.
Seems that in 2015 glues have also come a long way:

What do you guys think?
As a software engineer I am always thinking outside the box... actually I find the younger programmers way more conservative than me, but I was able to create a software project for my company alone, and using the most bleeding edge programming methods and taking chances that paid off. It is proof that thinking outside the box can be quite advantageous if one knows what they are doing and does extensive research.
I believe the same could apply here to speed up the process but also to tighten the reliability of the whole system using the latest bonding methods.
