In the next several steps we will lay out the corner bracket, the leg, and skirts. It may be helpful to have a piece of paper to draw on. Trace the leg as shown.

Position the leg on the top center of the paper (with the chamfer facing in) before tracing it. This will give you adequate room for the skirts and corner bracket.

Position the skirts in relation to the leg. The placement is determined by personal preference. In some cases, the corner bracket will touch the leg, if so; you may want to make the chamfer deeper. Double check as you go through these steps. Trace the skirts onto the paper.

Once you have determined where you want these parts, take off the leg and skirts and place the corner bracket over your drawing as shown. At this point, be sure to double check distance from the end of the skirt to both sides of the edge of the corner bracket.

Also make sure that the lip of the corner bracket is over the skirt as shown. The flat part will rest against the skirts when it is assembled. Mark where the lip will enter the skirt.

This is what the drawing should look like when you are done. Click the picture for a larger view.

Mark your skirt to match the drawing, set the table saw to cut slightly deeper than the metal lip is long, and cut the skirts on a table saw.

When you are done, the "kerf," or groove, should look like this.
