How to make timber trestle legs. With attention to detail these minimal timber trestles are the perfect base for your own unique table. Repeat this process for the opposite side of the trestle. Cut the bevel edges using a miter saw.
Dont be fooled by that thick slab of a tabletop its actually made of 34-inch thick material thats been wrapped with a wider board. Measure up 200mm this will be to the top of the rail on one end of all the leg pieces and square a pencil line across. Anika wanted a unique and beautiful dining table for her space and this is what we came up with.
The legs on the pencil marks. J Now that you have made the legs lay them down. Once you have the blocks in place dry fit them to ensure you have a good fit.
I made 4 extra wide. Run the 13 boards through the table saw at 45 to create the miter edge. Cut 8 pieces of 75 x 20 at 740mm legs and 8 at 560mm cross members.
Make sure that the nails are driven through the leg. It can can be set up or taken apart in a minute or two using no tools a. Of course weve got you covered with the full tutorial and free plans down below.
Now lay another cross member down and fix at the top of the legs. Screw in the 35mm screws in the pre-drilled ends and using your square ensure the cross member is perpendicular to the legs. Open the trestle up so its about 300mm wide.
