Hey man how you well, greetings from South Africa. I really enjoyed this video it’s super informative. If you don’t mind me asking what was the original length of the wood before you cut the 45 angle in the ends? And how high did the table come out at the end? I assume it’s for a dinning table. Thanks so much a client has requested “X” legs and this has helped me so much. Thanks again and regards.

You should draw out a square of around 71x71 cm and measure the length of the legs.. I don’t know the sizes anymore! Do it like that and you’ll be fine!!

I made them myself from a scrap metal plate. Or is it the c-channels on the underside of the table you want? Thanks for watching and asking your question!

Routing a groove for the c channel to sit in can create a cleaner design, regardless this is still some fantastic work

I did rout the grooves, but not the complete c-channel. You are right would be a lot cleaner. Thanks for your message! This is the full table build: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6KsqsuPaNXNaKQ.html

Why cut the ends of the wood to square just before cutting them at 45 degree angles? Why not just cut the angle?

Next time definitely threaded inserts again. It’s the best for removing the legs, using screws will long term destroy the screw holes.

hello Fennah. I have a question. i dont have any jointer or planner, can i still achive the result you did without the jointer and the planner? i really want to try and make these legs. by the way, are they stable enough? dont you need to connect the 2 pieces with a support piece in the middle?

@@FennahMakes ye. Thats the only way i think.

Nice - Top Tip when setting in them threaded inserts - wobble the drill a bit to leave the hole slightly sloppy - don't over-do it, but no need to be fussy. Especially on hardwoods, they are wicked tight to thread into an exact spec hole - even if you wobble the hole a bit, they still screw in with more than enough bite - I have hands like rhinocerous hide & still got blisters today as I had loads of these to set. I've never set as many in one session - dozens into hard as rock beech. I learnt fast to make the hole less tight - and they were still murder to screw home. I shudder to think what torque it took to fully seat them - the drive slots on the inserts were close to shearing, even with relieved holes. So yeah - wobble the holes a bit bigger - the inserts will still be in for life.

Exact size of that one please I would like to make the same?

Most of the time I draw a square (or rectangle) in the size I want the feet to be, on a scrap piece of plywood or on my workbench. Then I lay out the wood and mark them according to the square. I find this to be the most easy way to do it.

Hi, how much weight do you believe those oak legs could hold. I’ve made a similar piece and want to put a concrete top on them which would weigh like 180kg. 2400 by 1200 table size. Thanks

I didn’t test it out how much weight it can carry. The wood is strong enough I think it comes down to the way you connect the legs to the table.
