I cut the L-stock at 45 degrees (is this called a Miter cut?)

I measured carefully, and cut the edges at 45 degrees each.

Next - a couple of small tacks just to hold it in place. With aluminum I like to use filler metal when making tacks- if you don't when it cools off it tends to crack (this is unlike stainless steel)

When i flushed up the surfaces it sat good on one side but the other needed some clamping to get it to be right and tight. Trying to weld something with a gap is much harder so I wanted to make sure I could get it to fit as tight as possible.

Next after everything is good and tacked I checked the fit. It fit good, so I put some beads on the inside to make it stronger. It's hard to get the torch into the corner because you can't fit the filler metal in, so I only did about half of the inside. I am doing the outside as well as the bottom so it won't matter.

close-up of the weld (I am improving) 1/8" is so much easier than 1/16"

Here you can see I did the bottom, this is where most of the strength is
