Make Table Legs with a Table Saw / Basic Woodworking

[@keith7630]

I’m really like those legs. Very creative. Nice work, Jon.

[@virtualfather4117]

You are an inspiration. Seems every time I learn a new trick from you I have to go out and try it thank you John

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s so great to hear! Thank you!

[@jukeman57]

Lots of work but worth the effort. The tapered legs look very custom & stylish.

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Jon! 😃 I'm definitely going to copy this technique! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@marypeters5252]

Looks so elegant

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Mom! My biggest fan right here 👍

[@negotiableaffections]

I thought at first that the little narrow detail around the leg looked like a lot of work but actually its straight forward and simple enough to execute on the table saw and it really makes the planter look...well, 'classic. Nice one Jon.

[@yoseflugashi9820]

Looking forward to Sunday's video!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@jacktyler7599]

I like it! The tapering jig seems like a versatile aid for the shop. Nice, Jon.

[@sapelesteve]

Very nice work on those table legs Jon! 👍👍

[@daveheckman9388]

Cool looking planter!

[@paulmannix1760]

Looking forward to the planter video, it looks a cut above what’s been shown so far on KZbin.

[@ChuckP25.]

Great job Jon!!! Thumbs up.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Very classically clean lines Jon!!! I like the bead detail. A little goes a long way. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Brother!

[@danyodice1048]

Cool video Jon. Keep it simple...🤘🤘🤘

[@c.a.g.1977]

Haha, saw the detail on the legs and immediately thought: "How the heck did he do that?" Only way I could come up with was... the table saw! They really look classy!

[@nickkropat8857]

First Comment, heck yea. Love your content Jon, looking forward to more :)

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Nick!

[@andrewbrown8148]

Very nice detail, Jon~! I think I've seen you use this technique on another project. Do you also chamfer the bottom edges of the leg where it contacts the floor/ground, or do you use glides of some sort? Probably a detail included in the upcoming video, but thanks anyway~!

[@davegravel3740]

That planter looks really nice. Might have to make some. Would selling them be ok when i buy the plans? Would you want credit for the design? Haven't started selling anything yet but gonna try and get a business going.

[@jimham8]

Did you do something to the tops of the legs? I thought i noticed some kind of soft point, if that makes sense.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Good eye 👍 yes I add a 7 degree bevel at the top… small thing but makes a difference.

[@jimham8]

I always like the small details, its simple but makes it look nice. I assume you made those on the table saw too.

[@scurvydog]

Curious. Would you want to use the taper cutoffs to keep the centerline of the leg parallel to the top of the table saw?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Maybe I didn’t think of that

[@seephor]

Be careful when cutting tapers like that. I was cutting them and even though I had a zero-clearance insert plate, the offcut wedge got pulled in between the blade and insert plate instantly breaking the insert plate, stalling the motor and throwing the blade alignment off.

[@bdm1000]

I am brand new to table saws and woodworking, but my Sawstop manual says the following (regarding this portion of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqu1hmWEaK9nq68si=JT_jTKKujD_CAU6t&t=73 "Never use the miter gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the miter gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback." In other words, shouldn't your length stop be a part of your miter gauge/fence (and not the rip fence)?

[@jonathaneglinton5378]

That would apply to a through cut (cutting all the way through the board).

[@davegravel3740]

Yes, that is true. Sometimes. For through cuts you never use the miter gauge and fence together. Non through cuts there is no cut off piece that can get wedged between the fence and blade. Look up Stumpy nubs, he just posted a video about this, titled When safety goes too far.

[@kookiethebear]

Considering you used two table saws, and a couple different jigs, I wouldn't say this is "basic woodworking". If you have the money for such items...good on you! Thanks for the plans and great design.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks and good point… it did take me a little over 20 years to get here though… I agree it’s a nice little shop but still focused on the basics especially compared to some of the high tech shops out there today. And nothings wrong with high tech I’m just old and old school 😂👍

[@LollipopWoodworksNWA]

Making the jigs is part of any woodworking beginners journey and swapping blades on a simple jobsite tablesaw will get the exact results here.

[@davegravel3740]

Nothing that can't be done with a single saw. For that matter, it could actually be done with a circular saw if one is so inclined

[@donpaulswain1181]

1:28 Fence AND crosscut together!? That's dangerous! If It binds, things get ugly. Nice project though.

[@LollipopWoodworksNWA]

@donpaulswain1181 if he was actually making a cut, sure, but not doing this.
