Measure twice, cut once...

I always cut twice and the darn stuff is still always too short!!

My solution two years later has been to just leave the tie down strap on there holding the legs in place. Not pretty but it works, one of these days I'll come up with a more permanent solution.

I used to work with a fellow that had the philosophy of "measure with a micrometer, mark it with welder's chalk, and cut it with an axe." He never had a tight fit, I think he just built oversized and shimmed the corners.

One of my favorite things about welding is that you can put metal back.

I call my welders my metal putting on tools.

Notch the angle, weld a flat bar on the outside. Party on. The first was a prototype.

Time for the notcher. If you're squemish save the piece. You can always put it back with your electric eraser.

Measure twice, cut once, curse and stomp around, get more material, measure three times, cut once, hide the evidence.

Have you considered grinding off the welds that hold the cross supports on the saw, pull the legs in and reweld?
