I've got these bits of wood sitting in my house waiting for me to turn them into footings. The problem is how.
I tried to cut a slot into one to accept the footing, but hand cutting a straight line kinda escaped me and I don't have a bandsaw (I have an electric jigsaw but then I also have all my fingers and want to keep them).
The shafts I don't mind trying to taper myself - sandpaper and patience should do it. But this cut is a pig. Anyone found/made a jig of some sort that might help?
