While the drawings in the link are excellent, I'm glad I DIDN'T see them before making my fences. I do a couple things very differently. First, I just weld a piece of 1/4 X 2 to end of fence tube. Bevel the edges and weld away. Grind smooth. Where the angle meets the front rail, I first set up drill press with fence to insure that holes are all in a line. I drill a row of 3/16" holes through angle (3/16 is an acceptable size hole for tapping 1/4-20 threads.) Then I clamp angle and rail tube together with a spacer as shown. Using 3/16" holes in angle, using a hand drill (3/16 bit), I drill into rail tube. Unclamp tube and angle, then go back to drill press and enlarge holes in angle to 1/4". Tap holes in tube for 1/4-20 bolts. Hole aligns perfectly. Where fence tube and angle meet, I use a piece of 5/8 X2 iron as spacer. Weld it to angle first, and then clamp fence tube to angle and double check of square. Then weld 5/8 plate to fence tube using radius of tube for a weld fillet.

Here's another take on building a homemade Biesemeyer...

Not as much detail, but the results are similar.
