Re: Newbie question

I would start with two separate parts and join them by overlapping and
welding, *** welding, welding after either piece is slotted for the other,
overlapping and riveting (with ground or machined flats if desired), or
slotting the rod and riveting the strap in the slot. Just depends on how you
want it to look, the available tools, and which you consider easiest.
