Embark on your DIY adventure or enhance your professional woodworking projects with our meticulously laser-cut Acrylic Woodworking Templates. Crafted to perfection for constructing sturdy and stylish wooden table legs, these templates are the secret ingredient to custom furniture projects, including dining tables, coffee tables, and benches.

Our versatile table leg templates, made from 1/4" thick acrylic, are the ideal choice for a router glide or tracing guide. Their transparent nature ensures precision, letting you introduce detailed elements into your craft. Reusable and durable, these templates are a must-have for any woodworking toolkit, regardless of the size of your shop.

Every Acrylic Woodworking Template consists of interlocking pieces that employ our exclusive dovetail locking system. This system facilitates secure and straightforward assembly during routing. The transparent acrylic offers perfect placement and alignment, assuring every cut is precise and each detail is spot-on.

To enhance your woodworking journey, we recommend our Universal Mounting Plates for attaching the table legs and our specially designed Template Tape for securing our clear templates to the wood.

Instructions for Use:

1. Select the Appropriate Template: Choose the template size that aligns with your woodworking project, be it a dining table, coffee table, or bench.

2. Attach the Template: Use our recommended Template Tape to firmly affix the clear acrylic template to your wood piece. Ensure the template is tightly secured to prevent any movement during the routing process.

3. Initial Routing: Using a handheld router, trace around the acrylic template to create the primary outline of the table leg. This tracing step serves as a guide for the subsequent cutting and trimming steps.

4. Cut Excess Material: Post-routing, use a band saw or jig saw to remove the majority of the excess material, leaving about 1/16" to an 1/8" of material. This step facilitates the following trimming process, making it easier and more efficient.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Attach the Table Leg: With the table leg complete, use our Universal Mounting Plates to securely attach the leg to your table or bench.

8. 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.
