Instructions for Use:
-
Select the Appropriate Template: Choose the template size that matches your woodworking project, be it a dining table, coffee table, or bench.
-
Attach the Template: Use our recommended Template Tape to firmly attach the clear acrylic template to your wood piece. Make sure the template is securely fixed to avoid any movement during the routing process.
-
Initial Routing: Using a handheld router, trace the acrylic template to create the primary outline of the table leg. This tracing step is a guide for the subsequent cutting and trimming stages.
-
Cut Excess Material: After routing, use a band saw or jig saw to remove the bulk of the excess material, leaving about 1/16" to an 1/8" of material. This step facilitates the following trimming process, making it more efficient.
-
Trim to Perfect Shape: Next, use a router table or a handheld router equipped with a flush trim bit. This setup will remove the remaining excess material, refining the shape of the table leg to perfectly match the template.
-
Add Finishing Touches: After achieving the final shape of the table leg, sand the piece to smooth any rough edges. Add an edge detail to further enhance the look of your table leg. This could be a 1/4" round over or a 1/8" bevel, depending on your preference.
-
Attach the Table Leg: With the table leg complete, use our Universal Mounting Plates to securely attach the leg to your table or bench.
-
Repeat for Remaining Legs: Follow the same steps for each table leg. Ensure consistent application of the process to achieve uniformity in all table legs.
The joy of creating your own furniture is in the opportunity to add a personal touch. Feel free to experiment with different finishes and edge details.
