Using a table saw cut at 45° from one point to the other. Place one leg on a flat surface and draw two points as shown in the picture. Clamp all pieces together and let the glue dry. Glue them together using wood glue and brad nails to hold it in place. Step 5 – Glue Together Four Pieces per LegĮach leg will have four plywood pieces. This will make the rough cut piece exactly like the original template. Clamp the two pieces together and with a router that has a flush-trim router bit, go over the perimeter of the leg. Place the original template on the bottom and a rough piece on the top. Cut them slightly larger than the pencil mark since this will be the first rough cut. Use a combination of jig saw and band saw to cut all the pieces. Step 4 – Cut Out All the Pieces to Match the Original Template All pieces should fit on one 4’x8′ sheet of plywood. Layout all the pieces as shown on the cut list. Once you get the first leg and middle support template adjusted to the desired look, then place the template on the plywood and trace it with a pencil. Step 3 – Layout all Pieces on One Sheet of Plywood Cut it out and sand the edges to make it perfect. Place it on the lower right side of the plywood sheet. Similar to step 1, cut out the middle leg support template with scissors. This first piece is important to get an accurate shape because it will be used as a template for all other leg pieces. Then use a random orbital sander and sand any rough edges. Use jig saw and/or band saw to cut this first piece. Cut out the leg template with scissors and place it on the top left side of the 3/4″ plywood. You will need to print this on a large format printer. Step 1 – Print a Template and Cut Out First Leg Pieceįirst, print out the template.
