Transcript of MICROSOFT THE BRANDYWINE - …. Refer to Fine Woodworking, Dec 1989 for plans ... Craftsman 12-inch...
Turned portion = 24”
Pummel = 6”
Ratio = 4
1/2” divided by 4 = 1/8”
Begin turning on the offset cen-
ters. Using a skew chisel, V-cut
the blank to define the bottom
of the pummel. Next, move to
the foot and remove the corner
of the foot that sticks out most.
Proceed to the ankle area and
turn it to the desired diameter.
Return to the top of the leg and
turn the straight taper starting
at the pummel down to the
ankle. Sand the portion you just
finished.
Remount the blank on its true
centers. Now turn the foot
round to the desired diameter.
Finish sanding and you’re done.

Tim Sabo demonstrated how to
“Turn a Pad Foot-Leg”, originally
published in Fine Woodworking
Issue 203. A basic leg contains
only 3 components: square pum-
mel at the top, off-axis tapered leg,
and foot. From here you can
individualize the design with any
number of decorative details de-
pending on style and skills of the turner. The pad foot design
brings a little more grace to a table
than a straight, tapered leg but not
as much as a true cabriole.
The demonstration started by
explaining how to determine
where to place the offset center
points needed to get the proper
taper on the leg so that the ankle
blends seamlessly into the back of
the foot.
The offset center spot for the
bottom of the leg is done by deter-
mining the radii of both the foot
and the narrowest part of the leg
(at the ankle). First, locate the
true centers on both ends of the
blank. Decide which face you
would prefer to have facing out
from the table. This would be
the direction the foot faces.
Subtract the radius of the ankle
from the radius of the foot.
Measure this distance from
true center along the diagonal
to the inside corner. Mark this
location.
The offset at the top of the
blank is a fraction of the offset at the bottom. Divide the total
length of the turned portion of
the leg by the length of the
pummel. Using the number
divide the bottom offset dis-
tance by this value for the off-
set at the top. Mark the end of
the blank this amount towards
the opposite direction you
placed the new center on the
bottom of the foot.
Example:
Diameter foot = 1 3/4”
Radius = 7/8”
Diameter ankle = 3/4”
Radius = 3/8”
Offset = 1/2”
