Hello,
I'm a bit unsure if this fits in this forum, or under technology/tools or furniture carpentry, but the moderator can move it if needed!
Anyway, I need to make new legs for a bathroom cabinet. I want them to look like the attached picture from the store "Norrgavel."
In principle, I can start with planed 45x45, which should be beveled on two adjacent sides, as seen in the picture.
However, I don't have access to a table saw or band saw, or whatever one might choose if the conditions were right.
So how do you easily make these furniture legs with a standard arsenal of hand-held machines like a plunge saw, jigsaw, router, etc... The TS55 on regular planed 145x45 which is then sanded should work, but it seems like it's small workpieces to process with a plunge saw. And then there's the problem with the beveling of adjacent sides that complicates the cuts a bit.

it works to make them in the miter saw. possibly a longer piece so that you have something to hold onto
you need to know how tall the legs should be. how thick you want them at the top and bottom, then just go for it
bandsaw is even better

forward the wood piece, mark 40*40, measure 100m, measure 30*30. draw lines. saw. look at how the legs look to get an idea of how to do it.
Thank you for the response. Of course, I know where the cuts should be made.
The tricky part is that if I start with a 40x40x100 piece, cut it at an angle on one side, and then turn it 90 degrees for the next cut, the top side will be angled. A miter saw should work if you can hold the piece in a reasonable way. However, I lack one.
