Paul lays out the position for the legs and shows how he ensures the holes are bored at the correct angle. He then tapers the legs using the plane, saw, and axe, refines the shape with the spokeshave before scraping and sanding to finish off the leg.
With the legs fitted, Paul chamfers then creates an oval on each edge using the smoothing plane and spokeshave. Paul then cuts the wedges and glues the legs in place before cutting them flush to finish off this project.
