The legs are planed down as shown in Figure 2.28, with the upper ends whit tied or spakeshaved, then sanded into round tenons У\ in. in diameter and 2 in long. If preferred, the edges of all legs may be slightly chamfered. To insure against warping or splitting, flat cleats are mitered as shown anc screwed to the underside of the table, between and beyond the leg holes. The side rails may be very narrow, since they are only included for appearances. Furniture legs may be tilted in one way only or in both ways to form a compound angle, as in the coffee table under construction. When the tilt is not shown in degrees, the T bevel can be set from a drawing of the project, which usually shows the amount of tilt in inches, or provides a bottom plan or side elevations from which the amount of tilt can be computed. By referring to the side and end elevations of the coffee table, it will be noted that the legs tilt 7 in. to the sides and 4 in. from the ends. A protractor could be applied directly to such a drawing, or if not available, one corner of the bottom can be drawn on a piece of wrapping paper, as shown in A of Figure 2.29. The drill hole, point A, is located with reference to the sides of the corner, and through it is drawn the center line of the leg. Point В is equal in length to the amount of tilt from the vertical as measured on the elevation, in this case 7 in. At B, a line equal to the height of the project (18 in.) is erected perpendicular to AB. Points В and С are connected, forming the angle C, which is the angle of tilt. The T bevel can be set directly to this angle (or the drill press table), as in detail B. 82 . С Fig. 2.29. Insuring equal taper of legs. To insure the hand boring of identical combination angles at each corner a simple jig can be constructed. In two pieces of in. scrap about 2 in. wide, dadoes in. deep and in. wide are cut at 1080 from the vertical, as shown in detail C. Screwed together these blocks will form a jig with a in. channel at a 108° angle. In order to also secure a 980 inclination at right angles for the side splaying of the legs, the jig must now be tilted sideways until parallel to the 980 reading on the miter gage. With a piece of in. scrap as a straightedge along the front (tilted) edge of the jig, a pencil line is drawn along the front and repeated at the back (detail C). When these two lines are joined by pencil marks along the sides, the lower part can be sawed off to form a finished jig which tilts at 1080 in one direction, and 980 in the outer direction at right angles to itPlaced over point A on the centerline on the bottom of the table, the jig will guide a 34m bit when properly placed, at each successive intersection. Care must be taken to stop boring when the spur bites through the top surface so that the bore can be completed from that side without rough edges or splitting.
