Default Could you whack an inch off?

I just added up the number of "whack an inch off" items in this thread....
If you cut off the cumulative number of inches from the table/stool the seat
will be on the floor thus saving you the time and trouble of making legs and
stretchers... ;~)

I spend hours getting my Stickley reproduction designs as exact as possible,
measuring from eBay photos and Stickley catlogs. I did a run of very small
round tables, in Cherry (not classic). Something you might use as a plant
stand. I exercise exacting detail. I did an oil finish (tried and true) that
took a few weeks to complete. I give one to a dear friend for his birthday.

His wife says "Hey great, we can use it as a stool in the shower!" I help
them understand maybe it won't hold up to the use in a wet environment.

Now a few weeks later I get an email. "Hey I want to give one of your stools
to a friend. Do you have another one? Could you whack an inch off of the
legs and add some adjusters to the bottom in-case they have an uneven
floor?"

Maybe I can get him something from Ikea. He won't know the difference. :-(
