[TheForge] Angled tenons

Mon Aug 18 23:58:00 2003

If the tennon is @ an angle then the hole it goes in must be @ an angle also
the whole thing is kinda a pain in the but.
I made 1/2" round tennon"s on 1/2" square bar just tappered the bar w/ the
grinder to start the monkey  tool then drove an angled  monkey tool on , it
just rounded the corners. I arc welded the tennons in the hole and ground
smooth, lookerd great just was not any fun, would much rather split the bar
and bend 1/2 ea. way and rivet.
