yep jst made 2 90 degree bends out of galv pipe, left them long and then cut them bothe to length in the middle and welded them together. the first photo you can see the weld near the middle, didnt get it centered wich was annoying.

The trick is to put a short piece of pipe in side at the join and leave a gap on your outer pipe to put the weld into. Just as strong (if not stronger) and you can grind the weld back flush
