Cut
stock to size according to List of Materials. Layout the spindle
pattern (A) on a piece of 1/4" thick stock.

Use
a scroll saw, Bandsaw or jigsaw to cut out the pattern and sand
all sawn edges smooth. You now have the template for the lathe
duplicator.
-
Mount
the template on the lathe duplicator per your Owner’s Manual.
-
Turn
part A from a piece of 2" diameter x 21 1/4" stock.
-
Sand
the spindle.
-
With
the Mark V in the horizontal boring mode, drill the 3/8" diameter
holes for the dowels "D" in the legs "C."
-
Use
the grid pattern to layout the pattern for the legs "C."
-
Transfer
the pattern to three pieces of stock 3/4" x 7 1/4" x 7 1/2".
-
Use
a scroll saw, Bandsaw or jigsaw to cut out the legs. Save one
piece of scrap from the outside curve for future use.
-
Use
a drum sander to and the curves of the legs.
-
Use
a router with a piloted 1/4" rounding over bit to shape the
curved edges of the legs. Do not shape the straight section.
-
Use
a drum sander to sand a concave curve in the straight portion
of the leg. This makes for a better fit when attaching the legs
to the spindle.
-
Sand
the legs and set aside.
-
Divide
the base diameter of the spindle into three equal parts 120
degrees apart. Draw vertical lines on the base of the spindle
to form the centerlines for the leg dowel holes.
-
Use
dowel centers to mark the holes to be drilled in the spindle.
In the vertical drill press mode, drill the 3/8" diameter holes
in the spindle. Set up the table and rip fence to form a V-block
to cradle the turning.
-
Glue
and clamp the legs to the spindle, one at a time, to allow each
leg time to set up. The scrap cutting from Step 9 will aid in
clamping. With a square, check the bottom of the leg to assure
it’s square to the outside of the spindle.
-
Glue
and clamp the stock to form the 16" x 16" piece for the top
(B). Let glue dry for at least 24 hours.
-
Layout
the 16" diameter circle for the top. Belt and surface of top
blank smooth.
NOTE:Mark the center for future use.
-
With
a scroll saw, Bandsaw or jigsaw cut out the top (B).

Disc
sand the edges of the top.
-
Use
a router with a 1/4" Roman ogee bit to shape the top edge of
B.
NOTE: The surface with the marked center should be on
the bottom.
-
On
the bottom of the table top, use a 1" Forstner or Brad-point
bit to drill a 1" diameter hold through to brace (E).
-
Sand
the table top.
-
Cut
angled ends on brace with Bandsaw. Sand with disc sander or
belt sander. Drill for screw holes.
-
Screw
the top brace to the spindle.
-
Screw
the brace to top.
