: Thank for the responses. What I had in mind was to constuct two cones

: scarfing required as I see it. The thought of sawing a one piece into to

Hi joseph

please don/t do it this way. use the saw method. the reason is that you/ll never line up the separate pces exactly and you'll spend years trying to build each on to the other. build one pc and everythingll line up and its simple simple.

you're talking to bitter, bitter experience here(but in a different situation/application)
