Mark up the legs.

Using the washtub bass leg pattern

from page 154, mark two holes in each of the legs.

6

Drill the holes in the legs.

Using a clamp and an

appropriately sized drill bit, drill the holes as shown.

Make sure to drill the legs over a piece of scrap wood

to prevent splinter-out. If you want, you could also drill

each leg separately.

7

Mark the leg locations.

Pick three equally spaced points around the rim of the tub to

place the legs. Line up each leg so there is about 1" (25mm) sticking down below the

rim. Mark the two holes.

8

Drill the leg holes.

Hold the washtub firmly and drill all

six holes.

9

Attach the legs.

Line up the legs with the holes on

the inside of the washtub. Insert a bolt through each

hole. Install a washer and nut on the outside part of

each bolt. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten down

the nuts.

PREPARING AND ATTACHING THE LEGS

’

S TIP:

An alternate way to attach

the legs is to drill pilot

holes through the tub

and use wood screws to

attach the legs.
