It took a bit of head scratching to "free" theses legs from the blanks. Here's one leg (at the very top of the image) and all of the offcuts produced when sawing that one, single leg.
Legs All In A Row
All of the legs miters are cut and the legs are ready for bandsawing the leg profile. Having profiles to cut/shape on all 4 sides, the leg "story board" from last week is super helpful in determining the cutting sequence.
Set It And Forget It
And here is the setup I used to cut the leg miters. Just like any other setup that is used for multiple parts, I rely on reference faces, stop blocks, anything it takes to maintain consistency among all parts.
Ready to Miter the Legs
Here's one leg, mortises cut, miter blocks glued on, ready for the next step: cutting the miters. I'll use a table saw to allow for very consistent cuts.
Preparing for Miters
With the mortises routed, the next step is to glue blocks onto the two inside faces of each leg. These blocks provide the additional leg material needed to make the small miters where the aprons join to the legs. May not make sense now, but it will in a few posts.
