Trim Legs Level (Advanced)

Description

For furniture with significantly uneven wooden legs, carefully trimming the longer legs can provide a permanent fix.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Disclaimer: This requires woodworking skill and tools and risks damaging the furniture if done incorrectly.
2. Place the wobbly furniture on a perfectly level surface.
3. Identify the gap under the short leg(s). Use shims to stabilize the furniture completely level.
4. Measure the thickness of the shim(s) under the shortest leg – this is the amount that needs to be removed from the longer leg(s).
5. Carefully mark this amount precisely on the bottom of the longer leg(s).
6. Using a fine-toothed saw (like a flush-cut saw or coping saw) and extreme care, cut off the marked amount from the bottom of the longer leg(s), ensuring a square cut.
7. Sand the cut end smooth.
8. Check for stability. Add furniture pads if desired.
