    Nice legs.....

    Radio on : "she's got legs, and she knows how to use them" gotta love the great bearded ones. We'll it's been awhile for posting,but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. I decided I'd do a personal study in leg design to get a better feel for leg shaping and proportions. So I cut out some...

    Lock Miter Bit Exercise (Legs)

    I'm not sure if this is any improvement over splined miters. But I thought I'd give it a try and pass my experience on to you. First off, I can make splined miter legs in a third of the time that this takes. Second, I rarely get fine edge tear-out on a T/S. After seeing the tear out on my setup...

    Creating tapered legs without a table saw

    What alternatives do I have to creating tapered table legs without the use of a table saw? I have mine in storage in other place, no room for it in my current living situation. I do have a router table and a jointer, can either be used to make 4 identical tapers? Thanks!

    I have dug out the Popular Woodworking Oct 2008 edition to add to my growing list of projects, a workbench.

    The after class shaping part 2 1/2 -the front legs

    Worked on the front legs of the rocker today, and I must say this has been the hardest process yet. The starting point was on the right and off the grinder form is on the left: Once off the grinder had to use a #8 carving chisel to "bring out the round half" of the leg-the part that's not in...

    Squaring legs with hand tools

    So, I have 4 legs made out of jatoba, and they are nice and flat and straight. They are ~1 3/4" thick, made of 2 pieces (about 1 3/4" x 7/8" each) glued together. I just realized that the sides are not square to each other. Does anyone have advice on the best way to fix this with hand tools...

    Straight square table legs

    I am being asked to make the understructure for a marble table top. The requestor is adamant that the legs be straight and square. No taper, no bead, no flutes, no detail. IMHO, that's ugly. But then again, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then taste is in the mouth of the requestor...

    Queen Anne Style legs anyone?

    Can anyone tell me how to make Queen Anne style legs? I mean the ones that curve down to a lion's claw. I understand the lion's claw portion has to be carved in. I was more curious about how to cut out the template.

    WIP Fanback legs

    This weekend I turned the streachers and legs for the Fanback Windsor in progress (see previous post). Next I'll start sculpting the seat, sand and finish. BTW how do you guys who make chairs line up the borings in the seat for the legs? This is my third chair and I have more trouble with this...

    Dumb question here but What is the proper way or maybe the proper tool to use to sand curved legs and backs say for a chair. I always seem to get little flat spots along the way. I'm using a drum attachment on a drill press. Any :eusa_thin ideas

    Table apron to legs joinery

    So far I have seen M &T joinery used for table apron to legs. But tonight I was watching The Router Workshop and they used sliding dovetails instead. They didn't give a reason. That made me remember that I have seen or read somewhere about using sliding dovetails for this type of joinery, but I...
