inspiring post. I have 8 table legs finally mortised with router, and now I know what to do with the bottom half of the legs. Thanks for posting. Wish I had that LONG chisel rest.

Nice legs – can you share the equation for calculating the offsets?

Thanks for the comments guys.
JamesVavra: Sorry to take so long. Here is the source I used for the offset calculations.
It’s a good article, but I was confused by a few things, namely the seemingly arbitrary ankle diameter he defines.
I used the same 3/4”. Not sure what would happen if you changed it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the link – it looks like the distance between the outside of the top and the offset center make the maximum radius of the ankle. You could turn the ankle smaller, but it can’t be bigger.
