Intro: Easy Angled Mortises on the Drill Press - (Attaching Round Legs at an Angle)
One of my favorite things to make is wooden stools. I love them for their simplicity and versatility.
When building these I most often use a round tenon in an angled mortise to attach the legs to the top. These joints provide a clean strong connection, and they are easy
to make with a drill press, Forstner drill bits and a simple jig.
Step 1: Materials
To start you'll want to gather supplies for the stool and the jig.
For the stool:
1) A wooden top - I'm using a 14" disk made from ash that's 7/8" thick. I've already joined, planed and shaped the circle. This can be any size as long as you can fit it on
the drill press jig you build.
2) A set of round legs - I made four of these on a small wood lathe. These are about 14" long with 1"x1" tenon and a 1 1/2" diameter at the shoulder.
For the jig:
3) a 3/4" thick piece of MDF or shop ply that is a few inches larger than your seat diameter. Here I have a 17x17" square and two 1"x17" strips
4) Wood glue
5) 1 1/4" brad nails

Step 2: Tools
Next you'll want to have a few tools on hand
1) Pencil
2) Tape measure
3) 12" combo square
4) 18" ruler
5) 45 degree drafting triangle
6) Brad nail gun
7) Forster drill bits: 1 1/2" and 1"
8) Safety glasses
9) Clamps

Great jig, however it assumes that one has a drill press/pillar drill with a tilting table - many smaller machines do not...
ymouser says:
Good point! In that case, you're entire jig would be built with an angle.
Well, at least that's my slant on it. :)
