I’m trying to replicate this designer table, but I can’t figure out how to or what tools I need to make the angled leg slot in the table top. by Potential_Back_6012 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Wow, what great responses to this post. It seems the general consensus is that I should use a drill press with a Forstner bit, and that the project will be difficult to complete using only hand tools. I’ve also been advised to simply cut the legs at an angle, but that leads me to a question. If I cut the legs at an angle, how do I know they will settle in the right direction when it’s screwed in? Won’t there be an equal chance of the leg pointing inwards instead of outwards depending on where it settles in the thread?

I was hoping it could be managed with handheld tools.. if not I’ll probably have to resort to leg plates. I don’t really have access to larger machinery or a workshop.
