Well, now that Kermit is working, and can be used, and as the clock is ticking, I have less than ten days to learn or teach myself how to turn some table legs for a Magazine photo shoot!
I've read some books and looked at some stuff online, but one quick question, do you cut the blanks to the exact final length of the table leg?
The tops of the legs are covered by the table top, so the drive center mark should not be a problem, and the bottom of the leg sits on the floor, so the live center mark should not be a problem.
I would think that this would really cut down on any length issues, as the length of all four legs would be set before they even get on the lathe..........?
Also, if anyone has a good online resource for turning table legs, please share.
Cheers!
