A conundrum for anyone that's interested. I've already got my brain tied in knots over this one!
I'm currently making some obelisk-type frames for a customer out of angle-iron and the top is a square-based pyramid. The problem is that cutting the angle-iron at 45º in order to create the pyramid results in the ends of the angle no longer being at 90º and so, when placed on the square base, the edges don't match. Picture attached which should be a bit clearer than my dodgy explanation.
So, my question is, is there a way around this? Am I missing something blindingly obvious?! The only thing I can come up with at the moment is to splay the angle out so >90º but I don't want to have to do that because it'll be a pain!
