You can make brackets out of ply that will last for mutiple bends or a local welding shop can fabricate metal ones.

Shouldn't it be pink then? ;-)
Good point, I hope he found it.
Armin's stair tutorials are Breaktime at it's best.
Did you find it?
Yes, thanks for your help.
Great!
Are the brackets similar to ones you were looking for?
