Hi all;

Newbie here, not only to this site but to the finer points of woodworking.

Problem: I got an old oak table from my church. Measured 34" x 76". The legs measured 3 1/2" x 29". The table top is 1 1/4" thick.

I took the thing apart and made a round table top (34") with my router and a jig. I then took the legs and cut them down to 1 1/2" x 29".

Here's the problem: If I put the original four legs back underneath this table there won't be enough room for MY legs between the table legs, that is unless I cut one of my own legs off. Somehow that idea does not appeal to me....

I will have to go the pedestal route. I want to manufacture my own but have no idea how to go about doing it. I have a small table saw(10"), a 10" delta compound mitre saw, a drill press, my router and various other small tools.

Any suggestions on how to manufacture a pedestal?

Thanks
