Cut, Prep.\\tory to Bending -\mgle Br-^ss each be left in one piece. By accurately bevelling the two ends and prepar- ing right-angle cuts at three points as shown in figure 158, the whole can be bent into a frame that will produce very neat corners and make soldering easy. The right-angle cuts should be finished with a square file and car- ried within about 1/32 inch of going through. This leaves the bar very weak at these points and considerable care is necessary in handling in order that some accident does not break them apart before it is time to bend. If one breaks it is not a very serious matter, only the corner will not have quite such a neat appearance. In practise we find it best to bend each cut as soon as finished and roughly fasten with solder, ^^'hen all. Fig. 159. Frame Secured Around Wooden Form. Note Re-inforcement in One Corner three bends have been completed, place within it a wooden form as shown in figure 159. Except for the corners being cut off (to allow for solder- ing) the edges of form should be perfectly rectangular and fit closely. Now secure quite firmly with stout twine. After all corners are trued up with the board, apply the permanent solder. Melt solder from- any.
