My favorite tool for this is now a "High Speed Air Body Saw" from Harbor
Freight, you can find them on sale for as low as $20! Here's the link:

It's got a nice thin kerf, zip through aluminum nicely, and can be scrolled
around like a jig saw but it's more controllable and faster.
Ya gotta have one of these in your toolbox! (and get some replacement
'Fine' blades, 5 for $

P.S. Please read people's questions first. I believe the original question
was posed as "other than bandsaw...", so of course he got about 12 replies
suggesting a bandsaw...

Yes, you learned wrong. You learned back in the old days when hand
craftsmanship was more highly valued than the work of some financial
broker that is intent on doing his job to make you broker. Of course,
that hand work was why it took 10 years to build a 3 year plane.

Hmmm.. The way I learned about cutting was to drill the corners and use
the
snips and cut it 1/8" off the actual line of the desired piece and then
file
and Scotchbrite it down to its final shape and dimension.
Did I learn wrong?
