Hi all,
I've been racking my brain about how to achieve this without luck so I thought I would ask here.
My wife and I are trying to design a holiday sculpture out of 26 gauge stainless steel. It consists of 4" wide strips which are bent into various radiuses and with rolled hems. The overall project is large (4-5 feet) and we would like to disassemble it for storage.
We're looking for a way to temporarily - but sturdily - attach the pieces together at the ends without welding. An example is shown below - the arrow shows where two pieces need to be joined.
The simplest idea I can think of it would be something like a corner bracket (bent into the correct angle) and a few screws but this is kind of ugly and it requires additional pieces. It would be really ideal if we could slip fit the ends together but I realize that may be asking a lot.
Any ideas welcome!
