This was exactly what I was looking for! I bought little legs that were just the right size, but they had no holes drilled into them. I had no idea wha to do! Thank you for showing that step!

@sharonsands708 3 жыл бұрын

I love that you show how to do things that I haven't seen others show. That means I will turn to you in future if I have to tackle something unfamiliar to me. Thank you, you are awesome!

I love adding legs to furniture too! I makes such a big difference to the look of the piece. Thanks for sharing!

That piece looks beautiful with the new legs on it. I chose your video to learn how to do the same to Oak bedroom furniture I've had for years. Thank you for teaching me how it is done. I can't wait to see your final product. Thanks again !! ;-)

Thanks for sharing! I’m going to be working on a chest and this is a great tip!

@kimberlythompson1835 Жыл бұрын

Great tutorial! 😃 Thank you. I stumbled on a tip, during my search, that you might like. Thread 2 nuts onto the hanger bolt to give your wrench something to grab onto, so you don't risk damaging the threads.

What a difference I am Def doing this thanks so much

Viewers would benefit from seeing the wood being set-up on the miter saw ie the clamp set for each set of cuts. That’s what takes the time and gives the accuracy. Great project though. Thank you

Thank you for this video. I have do the same on my nightstands. This gives me some insight. I didn't really understand the 12 degree issue and I definitely dont have that tool to rip the boards. Hopefully I dont have that problem. Do you think it is necessary to miter the corners? Or could you have just butted up 2 90 degree corners?

@ARayofSunlight 2 жыл бұрын

Typically you don’t need to worry about all the special cuts. Simple 90 degree cuts should work great! It all just depends on the piece of furniture and how it was built.
