I know it needs tidying up, this is just a practice, but is the general idea ok?

 

not bad what are you cutting them with ,did you make up a jig ?

 

Just a cutting wheel/grinder and shaping with the grinder and probably a die grinder when I get one.

Didnt make a jig.

 

pretty good job for using a grinder and a cutting wheel. a mig welder will fill the gaps rather easily. best most affordable tool to do this would be a chop saw with a jig. i went a step ahead and purchased a cold saw but of course its not needed.

 

Thanks. I have done a bit of research since and made a jig for my chopsaw, going to practice with some PVC this weekend with different angles.
