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.

 

Using an inexpensive little portable welder.

 

I succeeded at welding two pieces of t post together. Not the best weld, but a weld at that.

I cut one of the pipes to length and went through two blades to do it. I made a trip to the depot to get some blades or an alternate method. I ended up with chop blades for the miter saw and it looks like the way to go. I will try them tomorrow.
I sealed the south side of the shop with tar where I think it has been leaking. We will see.

I'm headed outside to learn stick welding. If all goes well, I will weld the top bar of the fences today.
