bending angle by notching to bake round corner.
 

Several years back someone wrote up a technique to bend angle iron by cuttinging a series of slots rather than a vee notch so you ended up with a nice round corner.

Anybody still have this info still?

I don't remember any special "technique" beyond the obvious but you
can adjust the curvature to taste by resawing each slot after bending
it shut.

Practice on thin cardboard to make a template.

I don't remember seeing that, or I would have downloaded it. Maybe
it's on the Dropbox site. http://www.mwdropbox.com/
