My Cookie Cutter Leg Attachment Process
January 26, 2020 This is kind of a tutorial in pictures of how I attached a leg. I tried to use a cookie cutter approach so I wouldn't have to rethink it each time. Remember, I'm normally not a do-it-yourself guy. This is the best way that worked for me. This is simply a closeup... Continue Reading →

Saving Miter Saw Settings
