First things first, knowing that the angle of the legs would make it difficult to dry-fit the leg assembly, I started by making a 45-degree setup jig.

This enabled me to position the legs and the webbing, not only to verify the webbing's location but also to mark the position for the Domino's.


Before that, I began by drilling and glueing the screw inserts into the end grain at the top of the legs. These inserts will eventually secure the tabletop to the legs, but for now, they provide a consistent end-stop for the splayed legs on the 45-degree jig.


Then by using a L bracket of equal length from its ridge, it was fairly straightforward to determine the legs' relative position by measuring back to the top.

In order to properly clamp the webbing to the legs I carved away some flats parallel to the 45-degree jig, and glued down some 45-degree blocks at the top of the webbing.



Once dried these were easily removed. The mounting strategy was quite successful, and without any extra alteration, the two legs could stand up on their own.


















In order to give myself the most flexibility while working using the same 45-degree angle jig for the glueup I used these to shape the webbing to their final shape. Doing the same to the


Once the two solid sections were completed the two removable parts of the webbing could be attached. Again using the Aluminium profiles to orient the sections in relation to each other.
