Brilliant idea, Tony, thank you. In fact, that's a Heath Robinson version of the cutting guides I referred to; think this might work.....just need a vice now and some suitable clamps!
Rage saw: nice idea, but would like to keep it simple for now and mess about with a couple of offcuts I cadged from a local fabricators last week (keeping the cost down will keep the peace at home for now at least!).
Incidentally, cut an arbitrary angle in one of these lengths with my 'never-used before-hack saw' whilst balanced on a coping stone of one of my flower beds last week just to try it out; was surprised at how square I got it and after a quick rub with a file my brother gave me several years ago (again never used before) it fitted quite snugly against the other piece - will see if I can get a photo and you can laugh, sorry, judge for yourself at the standard of fit.
Probably just beginner's luck which is why I'll feel better with some sort of guide.
Thanks again, Tony.
