Couldn't you use an equilateral triangle to construct a 120-degree angle?
Like the top picture that Thomas posted, but either Technic beam extends two
holes past the point where the two beams pivot.  Then a simple 3-hole
1/2-wide connector (sorry, I don't remember the real name of this piece, but
it is flat, oval, and 3 pinholes long) connects the end hole of the
overhanging beam to the third hole in on the other beam.  You could use
longer connectors as well, as long as you extend the overhang to match.

Am I making any sense?

Yep, perfect sense. Try it again:
