Table Foot Design

Below are the tools that you'll need to complete this part. (It's easier than you think!)

Miter Saw

Circular Saw

Coping Saw

Small Hand Saw

Wood Rasp

Orbital Sander

Pencil

Speed Square

Here is the design that I decided to go with for my table foot. I made a template out of some scrap plywood so that I can trace and flip to all 4 corners (front and back sides) of my legs. Start by tracing your template on one side. Use the speed square to draw a matching reference line across the top. Then trace the template on the opposite side.

Now you can move to removing excess material with the miter saw. I started with a 45 degree cut followed by a 22.5 degree cut. I then use my speed square and circular saw to cut a series of slots at the top of my design and to make room for the coping saw blade. See below.

I used the coping saw to knock off the top piece of bulk material, as shown from above and below pictures.

Once that was complete, I used an orbital sander with 80 grit sand paper to gently remove the remaining material to the pencil line. Making sure that both sides match.

And this is the final product!

Next is the base fit-up and assembly.
