I could esily build a 4 legged one but prefer the look of a 3 legged
tripod type layout of the legs apart from that the previous owner has

My problem is that anything I have looked appears complicated joints
where the legs meet and may be beyond me for accuracy.
Is there a simpler arrangement for constructing a 3 legged table where
the legs angle out from a central point.

Any ideas welcome.

Could you not fit adjusters to the bottoms of the legs, if it is going
to be rigid?

I made up a pub style table & bench unit a few weeks. That has four legs
and it is on an less than even surface. They are no so rigid end to end
and it's own weight makes it twist slightly so as to always sit with all
four feet in good contact. Maybe you could design one pair of the legs
so they could pivot, to accommodate unevenness?


I may just go for a 3 legged straight legs in the end, This is more
than `less than even` surface as height of some of the slabs differ by
as much as 2 inches and it will be next year before I have the time to
relay them properly.
