This is kind of a dumb question, but I'm not a fabricator, so here goes. How do you guys weld two pieces of angle iron in a "T" when you have to weld to the edge (rather than the flat side) of the top piece of the "T"? Assume that the top surfaces of both pieces lie on the same plane. It appears that you can only weld along one edge which sacrifices the inherent strength of angle iron, unless something more is done.
Do you notch the lower leg of the "T" so that it nests with the top half better and you can weld both axis of the angle? Do you weld in a square tab to complete the joint?
Am I missing some obvious simple procedure?
Thanks,
John
