Howdy, I am needing to join (weld) a vertical member of square tubing to a
horizontal member that sits on the floor (all tubing being 2.5" x 3/16").

The problem, as you have likely come across, is that the corner of the
square tubing has a radius, leaving a gap on either end of the piece to be
joined.

How would you tackle this problem?


Use the resulting vee between the two pieces to your advantage and
fill it with weld.
