Re: table legs
Hi mezalick,
I know this is an old thread, but I wonder if you could tell me how to get the shoulder on the rectangle part of the leg?
Couldn't figure out how to PM you!
Thanks!

Re: table legs
It is similar to the tapered Octagon, but with 4 sides instead of 8: Tapered Octagon Threadbut I wonder if you could tell me how to get the shoulder on the rectangle part of the leg?

Re: table legs
Vectric has a video on how to model a spindle using the un-wrapping process.

I would use the cnc to do the work. Then re-mount it in the lathe for sanding. I have done this many times for rotary projects and it works really good. Of course, if you have really good lathe skills and/or a duplicator for the lathe it would be much faster to just use a lathe as long as you don't need a multi-faceted shape other than a square.
