Leg Details


There are a few miscellaneous leg details that I haven’t covered yet. The foot is bolted to the leg through this hole on the bottom of the leg. To prevent the bolt from rubbing on the wood I used a copper pipe fitting. I cut it to length and glued it into the hole with epoxy.


The legs have a small groove around them. I cut the groove on the large faces with the table saw before I completely assembled the leg.


Since the side of the leg is skinned with styrene I simply cut the groove into the styrene instead of cutting into the wood.


The inside of the shoulder pockets is lined with styrene which I glued in with epoxy.


The top of the leg strut has a little cover that goes over it which I made from some 1/4 MDF.
