How good are you with calculating angles and such?

when cutting and welding always split the angle between the 2 pieces then weld them. so if your wanting to do a 45 degree angle, cut both pieces and 22.5 degrees put them together then weld. it makes the joint stronger. and after that i would put in cross braces just incase
