How to Make the 1 Prepare the Stock To make the legs, start with a pair of blocks measuring % x l ^2x2%". Set the rip fence on your tablesaw as shown on the Step I drawing at left, Vu" from a Vu" thick. flat-top-grind thin-kerf blade (Ford uses Freud blades). Raise the blade to cut Vu" deep, then make one cut on each side of the block, as shown. Leave the tablesaw as set. 2 Separate the Feet Stand the source block on end. and handsaw each block into two sections as shown in Step 2. When sawing, stay clear of the yet-to-be cut sections of the "L" on each leg. 3 Clean Up the Waste Make a "zero-clearance" insert for your tablesaw so there's no gap around the blade where either the workpiece or the waste can be trapped. Next, using the same tablesaw setting as in Step 1. clean up the waste from the handsaw cut. forming the remaining section of each "L" To do this, use a feather board as shown to keep the w orkpiece from falling over into the blade. You may also need a spacer block to elev ate the feather board to the proper height. Also, use pushsticks to advance the stock, and keep your fingers well away from the blade. 4 Cut the Tapers Cut the leg tapers on your bandsaw using the simple taper jig show n in Step 4 below left to cradle the legs To make the cut. clamp a fence across the bandsaw table to guide the jig and leg. You'll need to flip the fence and jig to the opposite side of the blade to cut the adjacent taper on each leg. Locating Projects...
