    I finished the smallest side panel today, and started on the long, 28″ one.
    The original small side panel simply had 90 degree folded edges
    that went over the top and bottom panels and were soldered.
    The longer side panel has the Pittsburg style crimps that the top
    and bottom panels “set into”.
    It was one of these simple folded seams on the original small
    panel that was “popped open” when I got it.
    Joe B. mentioned that he did both panels with the Pittsburg style
    joints.
    I’m not sure how to best join the small and long end panels together
    at their two end joints.
    Joe, did you join the side panels with any kind of locking joint,
    or overlapping 90 degree flanges, or ??
    Thanks!
