Like I said I'm not trying to out beat the commonly used material and just don't like the look of current wood frames as they have a very heavy look to them. So we'll see and it fails then we'll have S'mores afterwards.
I totally get what you are doing. I have not built a frame but when out of my element or wanting to learn, I tend to do things like this. I have tried many prototypes for many things for the learning process without having to commit to actually liking the end product or investing too much. I am one of those that have to stay busy and part is enjoying the ride...and then maybe the ride.
