I'm trying to plan out my first welding project - a bird feeder rack - and I'm a bit confused as to where I'm supposed to put a fillet, or if I even need one for this application as it isnt really going to have a huge amount of weight applied to it.
Basically, the design is made from 1.25^2 1/8 box tubing. The mast will be about 8ft tall with four 18" or so hanging arms coming off of it at 90 deg for thistle seed bags and suet cages, with a larger seed feeder perched on the top.
Would these hanging arms require the use of a fillet? Or could I just butt weld it right to the mast tube?
Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
