Step 5 Creating the legs

The leg assembly uses the same basic idea of triangular tubes. The legs themselves are made from two 45-degree right triangles glued together to make roughly-square legs. These are connected by the skirt pieces that are made from right triangles with one short side and one long side. The exact sizes are all aesthetics, so use your own discretion. This whole thing should end up being smaller than your table top by an inch or two, so size things accordingly.

Glue the leg pieces together and then glue the legs to the skirt. Build the whole assembly upside down so you get a nice flat 'top'. (Assuming your floor is relatively flat, that is!) I used a corner where the floor meets the wall to get a good right angle where I needed it.

Almost done now!
