The right-angle cuts should be finished with a square file and carried 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 practice we find it best to bend each cut as soon as finished and roughly fasten with solder. When all three bends have been completed, place within it a wooden form, as shown below. Except for the corners being. Fig. 87. Frame Secured on Wooden Form Note Reinforcement in Upper Right Corner cut off (to allow for soldering), 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 corner that does not stand true without forcing, and re-solder. In the upper-right corner of illustration will be noted a right- angle flange reinforcement, cut from a flat piece of 1-16 inch brass. It is advisable to use these. They add greatly to the strength and actually.
