Working with recycled timber #27: Making tapered legs

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lumberjocks.com/n5emvf9.jpg

Whilst waiting for glue to dry I decided to make some tapered legs, well 1 tapered leg to be exact.

Step 1.
Select your timber.

I used a piece of pallet base again, cut off the rubbish and skimmed it with the table saw for uniform thickness then cut two identical lengths.

Step 2.
Set the table saw to 45 deg and cut each leg at 45 deg.

Step 3.
If all is OK use some glue and its into the miter clamp jig.

Step 4.

Once the glue has set its time for the ripping to start.
I have a taper jig so I used that to set the cut.

Step 5.
Examine the finished item
