The angle trimmed it out nice. It looks rich and nothing wrong with doing it the easy (smart) way.

Down here we have the little steel cartels and they all talk. I am lucky to have a friend that owns an iron work shop and another person that owns a scrap yard. Hurts when I have to pay the metal people the real price. But sometime they let me slide too. If I bought more there I would probably do better. We have to work every angle we can. My guy will sell me whatever size I want, but seems always better to buy bigger and lug it home.

How does the circle guide for you. Was it smooth? I am making one (magnet) so will not work on aluminum. I see they get $80 for it. Looks like it did a good job. How does the V attach to the aluminum, drill a hole?
