I ended up with a lot of nothing being done.  I need to let it go as training.

I ended up with two pipes a few inches short.  They looked good when I started but when I cut the 3 5Degrees off of them they were too short. 🙁
I guess I will get it done next weekend.as I ran out of time to start over.  The  chop saw worked rather nicely and I created a wood measure jig to speed up the process.

Today I put tow pipes together.  The the best looking but it was strong.
