For those little tabs I would strongly suggest that you recut them using 3/8" (or 1/2") material to begin with as they probably won't be flat by the time you weld them together and then grind them down. This is one instance where taking a shortcut may not be a good idea even though in theory it will work.

Ok I will quit being a cheap ass. I guess i will learn how to use that 4th axis on the new mill. I was trying not to use any machine.
hell we will keep the pcs around for some large tab or brackets.
and as to the rivit, i was going to heat a grade 5 bolt then flaten the back side.

I think you'll be happy you went the non-laminated route
