The first image in the original post shows me boring holes ~8" into the ends of the 2X2. The rebar...

Keeping various groups of chisels in good working order can be a challenge. Toss in a bunch of gouges, turning tools, drill bits and other non-woodworking tools and things can drive a person to...

Thanks to all for the kind words, ideas and taking a look.

I purchased one of those at an art supply store and am very happy with it. They even have replacement blades.

Glad to hear you found another source.

Maybe the reason is for revenue? :eek:

It could also be a factor if there is regular lightning strikes in your area. A metal gazebo is likely to get hit by lightning.
